▬ Highlights of my roadtrip 🚗 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
💦 The waterfall at Baatara Gorge (Baloue Balaa) is one of the greatest natural wonders I've ever seen: a 90-meter drop, where the water plunges a total of 255 meters. 3 natural rock bridges tower above one another and stretch over a chasm, all within a double-circled rock gorge where the waterfall cascades. Beyond imagination! I sat down here in silence for 1 hour. 💦
🌳 The natural variety of this little country is absolutely tremendous. You can enjoy the beach at 30°C ☀️ and have snow ❄️ in the mountains in just 1 day. But the best part of Lebanon remain this incredibly warm people with a tremendous amount of authentic hospitality. And Lebanese cuisine 🍽 will trigger a burst of flavors at your palate 🥗
🌸 The beauty of the people in Lebanon is an illumination of their shining souls ❤️ Instead of formal politeness I‘ve experienced true kindness, help and love at every corner and on a level that I couldn’t even dream of. A level that fills up your heart that much, that people would even see you as a family member 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
🌲 Cedar trees in Lebanon are estimated to be up to 6.000 years old 👴🏻 Even before Mohammed, Jesus and Siddharta 🙏 entered our world & even before the Pyramids were built, those trees were already there making them one of the oldest trees on our earth 🌍 There is hardly a breath of wind in the shade of the old Lebanon cedar. Air is pleasantly mild. Probably the most peaceful place in Lebanon. No wonder it is featured in the national flag 🇱🇧

As a lebanese i think this is the only video that actually captures how diverse lebanon is in all aspects

I have visited 86 countries and Lebanon is definitely in my TOP 3 !!! Amazing nature, very rich culture and history, very welcoming and friendly people, crazy nightlife and very yummy food (I mean really really yummy) ! Beirut has it all ❤ ❤🇱🇧

Some nice views, sad music and words, sad places as well, on the nostalgic side rather than happy or festive. Seems like a spiritual quest. There's happyness, novelty, hope and innovation as well.

[@AliSaleh-fy3io]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving you the true picture of my country, Lebanon, contrary to what is known, that it is a dangerous country and so on.❤

[@mduke100]

You are very welcome. Unfortunately here in the West the whole Middle East is mostly pictured in a very conflictive way, so that Western societies often receive a distorted image about that actually incredibly warm, nice and welcoming people 🥰I always had best times on my travels in Lebanon, but in general in the Middle East 😊

[@waelhariri5009]

Very beautiful country

Lebanon and its people are gifts of life. If you've never been, go now!

Quel beau reportage!

[@mduke100]

Merci beaucoup!

[@LoverOFhopeANDcompassion]

Unique approach ! No human voices. Strictly geared towards the tourist experience. Fast flip through the pages of a country cursed with endless conflict; now the silent side of it through the colossal economic disaster playing out of sight of the fast trekking tourist.

[@mduke100]

Often words merely distract from the experience, therefore, no presumptuous voice trying to explain something for this country. As a tourist you indeed receive glimpses of real life, fragments that Lebanese people have shared with me to a certain degree. I don't know how long my home country, Austria, would endure 150% inflation. Makes me even more respectful for these folks, appreciating this tremendous amount of hospitality I've received. Thank you Lebanon ❤

[@Littletravelersnotebook]

LOVE this. THANK YOU!! Love all the unique perspectives. Felt like I was with you taking it all in. Just wish I could smell and taste all the yummy food. Now to watch again to mark all the places I want to add to our itinerary there.

You didn't visit Baalbak?

[@mduke100]

I wanted to visit Baalbek and was already on my way to the city. But you know, during travels you have to make decisions and that day I got spontaneously invited by a family in Brital (just 10km from Baalbek) and I decided for the family. So yes, I missed Baalbek city. But this family was my best experience in Lebanon! Lebanese are so warm & friendly 🥰
