                  About Lebanon

Lebanon is a country in Western Asia, on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon's location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland has stated its rich history, and fashioned its unique cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity.
The first indication of civilization in Lebanon dates back more than 7,000 years—predating recorded history. Lebanon was the historic home of the Phoenicians, a nautical culture that prospered for nearly 2,500 years (3000–539 BC). Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the five provinces that comprise
present-day Lebanon were mandated to France. The country is characterized by its calmness and prosperity, driven by tourism, agriculture, and banking. It is considered one of the banking capitals of Western Asia, and during its heyday was known to some as the "Switzerland of the East" due to its financial power and diversity. Lebanon also attracts large numbers of tourists to the point that the capital Beirut is referred to as "Paris of the Middle East."
An increasing number of foreign tourists pours every year into Lebanon's resorts.
