The western border of Lebanon lies entirely along the eastern shores of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. We know there have been cities along this coast since as early as 3000 B.C.
Lebanon has been both a point of crossing and a point of controversy for centuries. Gushing springs from underground rivers, which support fertile agricultural lands, the abundant cedar hardwood (the historic Cedars of Lebanon) and the portside location on the busiest trade and exploration route in ancient civilization, made Lebanon a highly desirable area.
Ottomans, Crusaders, Abbassids, Byzantines, Romans, Persians, Phoenicians, and the Canaanites all settled, and for a time, claimed Lebanon. Each successive society left behind architecture, art, customs, and the impact of their languages, religions, and cuisines.
Lebanon is rich in archeological sites. It is a historic treasury of relics and artifacts, immensely meaningful in our modern world. Discover the ancient Roman ruins at Baalbeck, the excavated cites of Tyre and Byblos, and the massive Mamluke monuments in Tripoli.
And make your explorations of this multicultural land easy and convenient. Rent Lebanon timeshares or buy Lebanon timeshares or Lebanon timeshare resales.
History describes the cedar forests of northern Lebanon as expansive and desirable. The Phoenicians raided the forests for its strong, enduring hardwood to build their sailing fleet. King Solomon used a great quantity of Lebanese cedar to build his temple in Israel.
In ancient Egypt cedar pitch was used for waterproofing and in the mummification process. And for centuries, cedar trees were felled and burned for fuel. Even as recently as World War II, British troops built the railroad from Tripoli using Lebanon's cedars.
Today, the Cedars of Lebanon survive only in dense and wonderfully aromatic clusters. On the cleared hillsides that remain, skiers enjoy the slopes in the resort areas of The Cedars, and Faraya Mzaar.
Travel to Lebanon and pack your flashlight and your hiking boots. North of Beirut, near Jeita, lies an intricate network of amazing caverns and caves. You can visit some sections as part of a walking tour, or ride underground boats along the Nar el-Kalb (the Dog River).
In places, the arching cave ceilings form natural cathedrals. With incredible acoustics, these areas are sometimes used as cool and pleasant, underground concert halls.
But Lebanon does not live only in the past. Building and rebuilding in the seaside city of Beirut never stops. Expect fine dining, contemporary theater and performing arts, excellent shopping and nightclubs and pubs that glitter and rock.
Buy a Lebanon timeshare or a Lebanon timeshare resale. Experience the excitement of a holiday along the Mediterranean coast. It's a timeless vacation opportunity you will enjoy for years.
