The 18th and 19th centuries, the making of Lebanon’s modern history, The Emirs, Rulers of Mount Lebanon district, the Ottomans and the French, the palaces, life at that epoch, Rulers duties, their plans, local customs & tradition, the mulberries and silk factories, The Druze of Lebanon… Can’t tell you all now, but will sure do when I see you! A short morning drive Southeast of Beirut and here we are in Beiteddine people’s palace, the Cavaliers section, the presidential section and the Mosaics sellers… So different, so true!

Mussa palace, a man’s dream came true, three levels of an interesting gallery of Lebanese villages life style as well as lots of guns museum… what a nice collection of weapon very well displayed!

The old capital of Mount Lebanon once said? Deir el kamar today, is indeed a traditional well preserved town. Why don’t you try the local bread called “Kerben”? Then here we are exploring the village, walking around the old tight streets where a 14th century Mosque stands in the middle of a historical square and next to a miraculous Cathedral.
