as a lebanese, i want to thank you for showing the world about my country because we have a very bad image around the world and they have no clue how beautiful is my country.
great work, keep it up

Brazil and Lebanon have a very strong connection. Thousands of Lebanese Christian citizens immigrated to Brazil with Turkish Ottoman passports, which caused them to be known as "Turcos" by the locals, much to their chagrin. Today, Lebanese-Mediterranean food is well known in Brazil, with fast food chains selling fried kibbeh and sfihas. And about 7 million Brazilians are of Lebanese descent nowadays

I have now been to Lebanon twice, just returned last week. It is one of my favorite places on earth for all the reasons you listed in the video, but there is something intangible about the nation that grabs me. Also, the people are simply amazing. I encourage everyone to visit. It is safe for tourists and, as a Westerner, will challenge your perceptions in the best possible way.

Fun fact: in middle Tennessee, there's a state park named Cedars of Lebanon. The town it's part of is also called Lebanon, named after all the cedar trees in the area.

I live in Australia & Australian born. I went for a holiday to my home country & never left !! I love Lebanon ❤

[ravivmadar]

I have visited more than 78 countries so far and Lebanon is definitely in my TOP 3 !!!! Wonderful nature, very friendly people, rich history and culture, very yummy food (I mean really really yummy), snow, beaches, nighlife! Beirut has it all ❤

I'm from Lebanon. Thank you for introducing my country in a very beautiful way. A word صحتين that you mentioned it has a reply which is : على قلبك.
على قلبك means on your heart.
So when someone says two health, the reply would be "on your heart." Which is wishing you the health back to your heart. 😊
I hope my country get over all the obstacles we are facing soon. Lebanese people deserve to live in peace and all the people around the world as well. 🙏

Proudly Lebanese! 🇱🇧🤍
And I can say, out of the many videos I see talking about Lebanon (not vlogs), that yours is the most accurate. It covers and sums up pretty much everything about our beautiful yet mistreated country...
Thanks for sharing interesting content.🤍
First time watcher btw. 👍🏻

Being a 33 years old Lebanese, I have to admit, I learned quite a bit from all the information shared in here! It's refreshing to see channels that share the positive sides of our country instead of the negatives!

Served in Lebanon as a UN Peackeeper in 1990 (UNIFIL). Even though we were in the security zone in the south, we did get to really get to know the country and it's people. Amazing place, with amazing people, and amazing food. Hope to take my kids there one day.

I've been to Lebanon twice, back in 2014 and 2015, to visit relatives (both my maternal grandparents were from Ehden, in Mount Lebanon). I loved the place! It's a unique combination of ancient, modern, chaotic, sophisticated, Eastern, Western, exotic, etc. Lebanon is fascinating! I wish them peace and prosperity, from the bottom of my heart, they deserve it!

As a Lebanese who's lived abroad for years, I think this was one of the most accurate videos about Lebanon I've ever seen. Good job on the great research, you really nailed the small peculiarities about the culture and history.

Great stuff. There are many people from Lebanon and of Lebanese descent here in Sydney, and in other cities and towns in Australia. They have brought their food, religion and cultural complexity to add to the rich tapestry that is contemporary Australia. Their hospitality is famous, and a visit to a Lebanese household is never without sweet treats and delicious teas while a night out is often ended with shawarma. In the 1980s, falafel and tabouleh rolls with fantastic, home made hummous and baba ghanouch were one my favourite meals! Cheap, delicious and much more available then than now, as new immigrants added diversified cuisines and older shop keepers moved on. Nice to have some of the history of their country to reflect on! Cheers mate!

An awesome country! The Lebanon diaspora and descendant are widespread around latin-america and the caribbean 🙋‍♂️ My favorite dish is the Kibbeh (Quipe in Dominican Republic).

[geordieellis]

My husband is Lebanese and I’ve now visited Lebanon 3 times and will forever be my most favourite place to visit!
The people are so warm, I’ve never felt unsafe, the food is beautiful, and it just has such good energy despite past tragedy

Good video. I went to Lebanon for a study abroad in the summer of 2003. Every weekend, we visited different sites around the country, which isn't very big, but the terrain, climate, and culture varied widely. Although kibbeh is the national dish, another food is far more ubiquitous. I think I had fries with every single lunch and dinner in Lebanon, including shawarma from street vendors, fast food, tiny cafes, and fancy dining restaurants. The food was amazing, and the people were great. I need to visit again!

Thank you for sharing Paul the video was informative, accurate, light hearted and your pronunciation was on point! You made our day. We’re also glad that the non Lebanese have enjoyed their stay. Thank you all for your kind words much love from Lebanon❤️🇱🇧
