Beirut
4 nights / 5 days

Beirut, known as Paris of the East, was built on the largest rocky promontory of the coast at the near center of the country. Later it would become capital of the modern nation, but in ancient times its deep harbor and central location were not so apparent and the city was overshadowed by more powerful neighbors.
