Ski Beirut
Wow!
That’s quite something!
We’ve landed in Beirut and the airport is right on the Mediterranean! We’re looking out across its placid reaches as we land.
But Beirut?
Are we crazy or something?
Aren’t people getting killed here all the time?
Sort of shot at or blown up?
Aren’t all the buildings full of gaping holes from years of war?
Aren’t intrepid war correspondents from CNN always reporting unrest, civil war, murder and mayhem from Beirut?
But the 15 year war has been over for 22 years at the time of writing.
Beirut is now as safe as any first world country you chose to visit.
Justly called the Pearl of the Middle East, Beirut hums with energy and people are hell bent on having a good time to make up for all those war torn years.
But even at the height of the 15 year civil war the combatants were not averse to storing their weapons for a few days and heading off into the mountains for a few days skiing or to a holiday chalet in the bracing mountain air.
But before you pack your bags be sure you don’t arrive with an Israeli passport or even a stamp in your passport revealing that you have visited Israel in the past. The hostility runs really deep. At immigration at the airport every page in your passport is carefully checked not only by the immigration official but by a second checking counter. (The Government of Lebanon refuses entry to holders of Israeli passports, holders of passports containing a visa for Israel, valid or expired, used or unused and passports with entry stamps to Israel checks.) In fact, because we travel with 2 passports, we have to produce the second passport which was also thoroughly checked. Otherwise we noticed people queuing to buy an entry visas at immigration.
Baggage checks are also thorough. Probably wise to have your bags shrink wrapped. Every second passenger was pulled off
