Lebanon is a tiny country with a vast history of ancient civilisations, modern conflict and rebirth. Following the ravages of war the country is currently enjoying its renewal as an attractive tourist destination, with the varied beauty of its landscape and people more striking than ever. It is a densely wooded, mountainous country with spectacularly varied scenery. The two mountain ranges provide ground for a number of ski resorts, while the fertile Bekaa Valley and the Mediterranean coast are cultivated with a large variety of fruit trees.
