Gotta Love Lebanon

Beirut’s supposedly a great place for families, but without a cousin who knows somebody who can take you around, it’s hard to find out what there is to do, never mind what’s worth doing. Gotta Love Lebanon, the latest edition of Turning Point Book’s popular guide series, takes on this critical dilemma with a New York attitude.
Twenty years ago, fresh off the boat from New York City, Joanne Sayad arrived in Beirut anxious to provide her children with the wealth of activities she herself had been privy to while growing up. After years of trial and error, of traipsing through dusty alleys and behind vegetable markets, the award-winning author has compiled the guide she wishes she’d had. Gotta Love Lebanon offers not only the practical, up-to-date listings one expects in a comprehensive guide but also tips on how to adopt the basic survival instinct parents really need to cut through the faouda and enjoy this cool place.
Family-friendly and written in a ‘hosh-bosh’ voice, Gotta Love Lebanon presents Sayad’s picks in easy-to-read chapters such as “Culture Vulture”, “Museums”, “Public Gardens & Libraries”, “Snow Sensation”, “Nature”, “Summer Camps”, “Beach Bliss”, “Amusing Parks”, “Birthday Bling”, “Beirut and Beyond” and “Getting the Gist of Beirut”. Readers will discover – or rediscover – the best places to go and things to do with children. Readers will also appreciate the fresh and often quirky observations of the author, whose hard-won experience and intimate knowledge of the culture help take ‘family fun’ beyond wishful thinking and into reality.

Liban: sur la terre comme au ciel / lebanon: on earth as it is in heaven

Ce livre aura demandé à son auteur plus de trois ans de recherche et des dizaines de survols du Liban pour en saisir les plus belles images et les plus éloquentes. Celles qui sauraient au mieux illustrer les quelques 70 extraits de la Bible où le mot Liban est cité. Un travail de titan et un acte de foi, qui ne se veulent en rien une référence biblique, mais un regard émotionnel, sacré et patriotique sur un pays, une religion et une spiritualité présentes dans de merveilleux paysages vus du ciel et avec le coeur. The author of this book spent more than three years conducting research and dozens of flights over Lebanon in order to capture the most beautiful and eloquent images that would best illustrate the 70 extracts from the Holy Bible wqhere the word Lebanon is mentioned.

B.Lebanon (beirut, lebanon, night secrets uncovered, volume 1)

It's growing dark in the city that never sleeps. Up and down the meridian, city lights flicker, sputter and dwindle one by one under the unfurling cloak of night. But here in Lebanon, as the sun goes down life begins, with lights spreading in waves all the way from the «Corniche» to the foothills of Mount Lebanon, gathering intensity like the visual representation of an orchestra coming to life. Light pours out of windows, open doors and signboards to reflect in the sheen of freshly polished cars. Lights blink on up high, in rooftop cafes, restaurants and clubs. When the sun fades into the Mediterranean and the moon casts a shy glow across the sky, Beirut transforms from a bustling commercial hub into an electrified, city-wide nightclub. People dress to the nines and pour into the streets to meet, dance, eat, and drink in the melody of the night. Today, a few cities can compete with Lebanon's reputation for elegance, sophistication and zeal for life, and that comes out exclusively at night. In any season, the country's nightlife is the constant pulse that keeps its people feeling alive. While other cities withdraw to sleep, Beirut prepares itself to shine out like a beacon in blazing colors, calling in hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to partake in the festivities and share the magic. This is the true face of Lebanon, Lebanon by night that's captured in this volume. B. is a compilation and a testament to the city's vibrant spirit and the fun it has had over the course of its meteoric rise towards the limelight. It is a lasting souvenir, with over 700 unretouched pictures for anyone who was part of the wild times, and a window into the world's most exquisite party scene for anyone who has yet to visit the city that never sleeps.
