 | Ski Faraya Mzaar, Lebanon |   |  |
 |  | ||
 |  on November 28, 2005 |
The resort is my favorite visiting every year since 1995. It is run very efficiently and has slopes to suit beginers to intermidiate/advaced skiers. Accommodation varies from the 5* Intercontinental to very basic and can be found right on the slopes. Travel arrangements were very professionaly organized by Varianos Travel in Cyprus. Ski shops are plentiful and renting decent equipment ranges from 7 - 10 USD. Pic Blanc is a good shop. |

| Car ralley | | |

 |  on October 19, 2003 |
Travelling from Bcharre to Beirut in the area 30 KM east of Batroun, the road to Aannaya was closed. The national car ralley should pass by and we had to wait near one of the sharp curves in the race circuit. It was unplanned, but it was a nice relaxed place to make a stop. And after we had unexpected breathtaking moments, standing on a slope in the front row, when the racing cars appeared, taking the sharp curve just in front of us. |

| The Cedars, ski resort | | |
| | ||
| on October 19, 2003 |
East of Bcharre in northern Lebanon lies the ski resort the Cedars , just a few KMs away from the famous grove of cedar trees. At 2100 to 2900 M the Cedars is the highest of the six ski resorts in Lebanon. The season is from November till April. In the Cedars ski resort, a small village, are some hotels, shops and four slopes with skilifts (from beginner to intermediate). When we visited the resort end April, the last snow on the slopes was melting. There are some equipment hire-shops. |

| Skiing in Lebanon | | |
| | ||
 |  on January 26, 2005 |
Lebanon is one of the few winter sports centers in the Middle East and certainly the most extensive. This land which enjoys 300 shining days every year, offers, at a short distance from coast, some of the best snow covered playgrounds for smooth or rough playing slopes. The season begins in late November and continues until late April and sometimes longer in Cedars area in a winter landscape unique in the world. There are six winter resorts in Lebanon. These ski resorts matches their European counterparts with modern comfort and well developed resorts infrastructure as most of it has beautiful hotels, chalets & all required facilities, including wonderful ski lifts. |

| Why not go scubadiving in Beirut? | | |
| | ||
 |  on September 7, 2002 |
Scubadiving in Beirut? I know it's not like the Red sea but for me (who have done most of my dives in the Red Sea) this was a new experiense. I dived with the NISD (National Institute for ScubaDiving) lokated in the Rivera Hotel (where you can also spent a day by the pool). During the two dives I did we didn't see so many things, a moray and some fishes. But we made a nice driftdive. Sometimes you see sharkes. You can rent the equipment at the divingcenter. One dive with full equipment is 30 dollars. |

| Beirut's Race Track | | |
| | ||
 |  on March 30, 2006 |
Every Sunday, Beirut's very finest Arabian bred horses can be seen at the Beirut Race Track near Tayyouneh. Everything from Lebanese Pounds to Dollars to GBP can be used to place bets on the best horse. Also, for those little kids who'd like to get on a horse with an instructor and go around in circles, and be nice to a lil horsie..you can go to downtown to the area next to Monroe Hotel and the known Starco Bldg., and enjoy a ride on a pony or horse. |

| Ô CAP Beach Resort | | |
| | ||
 |  on July 21, 2005 |
Caribbean sea wooers have met their match minus the ticket fares and the hassles because an exclusive plus spot awaits them right here in Rmeileh, a 25-km drive south of Beirut. At Ô Cap, you’re literally caped in among a monumental edgeless pool and scores of palm trees as three islands stamp your open invite to swim or sunbathe. Piers will direct you to the rocky shores of the Mediterranean for an easy breezy dip in the sea, while your ears take a dip in relaxation as lounge music takes turns with jazzy pop. With your full-access sea view permit in one hand and your sparkling cocktail from the wet bar in the other, the Jacuzzi is your best bet if you want to quench your appetite for a change. The children are not left out either; a pool and a play zone are especially designated to meet their every whim and need. As are yours: if you’re not feeling like a fish out of the water, jet-skiing, boat renting and/or fishing are your alternatives. What’s more, you’re made to feel like a god-like castaway on this small isle not only by the setting, but also by virtue of the stately treatment you’re given with a range of edibles like Italian, Mediterra-nean, and Lebanese cuisine, if you don’t feel like nibbling on snacks. Because the Lebanese are party ani-mals that are tough to please, Ô Cap transforms a golden oasis by night, with its same emblematic features, to become the hub of the party as sheer enjoyment lends a hand to wild living. |

| Beach for Girls | | |
| | ||
| on July 21, 2005 |
In Lebanon there are beaches which are esp for girls (no boys at all) and all the ppl who work there are girls. these kinds of beaches are made esp for the girls who wear hijab. So it was a gr8 solution in order to let these girls have fun and swim as if they are in any other beach. on the other hand a mother can take her children with her in case her son is less than 6 or 7 years. it doesnt cost that much prices starts from 5$ per person till 10 $ max . |
