It is true that you can ski in the snowcapped mountains and go swimming all on the same day in Lebanon. With hills meeting the sea, Lebanon is a marvelous little Mediterranean country with plenty to do.
Vibes Tourism, a Lebanese travel agency, just made an album of 10 pictures that compare various travel destinations to our own small country. The resemblances are striking and induce a sense of nationalistic pride.
Vibes compared areas in Lebanon to popular spots in Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Australia, America, Burma, France, and Brazil.
