banginbird

Quick review of Temples of Baalbek, Beirut
Review of Temples of Baalbek, Beirut by
nadime
Yes Baalbeck is very interesting, I have visited twice after a long car journey through the Beka Valley and on to Zahle then to Beirut. I found walking around this ancient site mesmerizing, over a large area you can walk round freely and touch the stone and sit and take in the size of the coloumns made of rose granite and wonder about how they were built. It is breathtaking believe me. Hard to visit at the current time, but a treasure all the same.

Beautiful Baalbek
Review of Temples of Baalbek, Beirut by
clarenceh
Advantages: Fantastic Roman Ruins
Disadvantages: Very hot in summer months
I visited this wonderful roman ruin a few years ago and it is far more impressive and spectacular than the Acroplis in athens (i have been there too!).
The magnificent Temple of Bacchus is virtually intact and the surrounding columns and fantastic carved ...

Room with a view
Review of Quality Inn, Tripoli by
Aloush
Advantages: Clean, friendly staff, relatively cheap.
Disadvantages: No frills in rooms
The Quality Inn
I don't want to repeat what Vodkaboy wrote in his thorough review of the hotel in 2005, so I will just add my own particular observations from my recent stay at this hotel in October 2006.
Tripoli is geographically in the North of ...

A site not to be missed
Review of Faraya by
Mrs.Nadine
Advantages: mountain and countryside atmosphere and yet, not too far from the sea shore
Disadvantages: A bit expensive
Faraya is the name of a small mountain village in Lebanon. It is one of Lebanon's tourist citations for many reasons.
The first reason that makes it an attraction is the weather. If you are visiting Lebanon in the summer, than spending few days in faraya ...

Paradise missed! (Or so it would seem)
Review of General: Lebanon by
Librelola
Advantages: Rich historical and archaeological as well as cultural country
Disadvantages: Not many for tourists, but slightly expensive
The Lebanon may not seem an ideal holiday destination to many, but to some, the idea is rather tempting. Most people are in a sense still frightened, because of the war that tore the country for over 15 years, from 1975 (although some say earlier) until ...

Size does matter, specially in the bedroom!
Review of Quality Inn, Tripoli by
Vodkaboy
Advantages: Large, spacious rooms, clean, only decent hotel around
Disadvantages: basic, poor breakfast
I've visited Lebanon a few times during 2003 and 2004. On the last trip I was lucky to be able to get up to northern Lebanon, where the scenery is beautiful, especially in and around the mountains. I stayed in a city called Tripoli - yes, it's confusing h ...

An amazing country!!!
Review of General: Lebanon by
dankassdann
Advantages: Great food, great nature, great culture!
Disadvantages: A civic war ruined much.
I just want to say that you should ignore "Length of visit, Daily budget and size of group".
Lebanon is called the pearl of the middle-east
and is one of the most beautiful countries in the middle-east. In the year 1985 a civic war accrued in Leban ...

A little known gem
Review of General: Lebanon by
magnoona
Advantages: The Switzerland of the Middle East, beautiful scenery, wonderful cuisine
Disadvantages: Still a little unstable, driving is a little scary, still battle-scarred
I spent a month all over Lebanon; off the beaten track and all the major tourist sights. It's had a lot of bad publicity and very little good but is an incredible place to visit. It has a unique character as well as offering all the usual Middle Eastern ...

Review of Gefinor Rotana Hotel (Beirut) by
Vodkaboy
Advantages: Comfy room, kettle in room, Trader Vic's
Disadvantages: Little hotel info
The most memorable thing that struck me the first time I stayed, was that the masseuse was Chinese. Honestly. Really. She was. And yes, that was my overriding memory. Not the rooms, the service, the breakfast. But the Chinese masseuse. And it's not becaus ...
