Advantages: The virgin diving to Westerners Disadvantages: The way South!
....
3. Part Muslim, part Christian, it is extremely Westernised. Think French Riviera but with mosques and you'll get the picture.
4. However, you would be wise to avoid the southern part of the country, where outbreaks between rival factions still continue over the Lebanese / Israeli border.
***************DIVING BACKGROUND***********
I found that diving is extremely popular and is one of the fastest growing sports in Lebanon. There are approximately 25 dive centres along the 180 miles of Lebanese coast and 4 in Beirut itself. Things have come along way from the war years when diving was a hazardous pastime when common problems included being stranded out at sea whilst shelling took place or finding yourself the target of snipers who would "shoot anything that moved"! Most dives are between 16 metres and 37 metres so expect two 30...

Advantages: scenery, people Disadvantages: war torn country
...I have had the pleasure of visiting Lebanon four times. It is a beautiful Country full of mountains and bordered by the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. I was surprised that the land is so green and there are so many rivers. I had always thought of the middle east as being dry and barren.

Advantages: A very busy and fast paced city Disadvantages: Too much pollution

However you might have to go out of Beirut to get to any of the most popular night clubs because they are situated in Jounieh. The next reason is that during the day there is a lot of things that you can do. Some of these things are lie swimming in the swimming pools, playing golf at the only golf course in Lebanon, going to the cinema, and going around all of the historical attractions. The next thing is that wherever you go everybody is very friendly. I have never been threatened by peolple and I haven't had any body...
