LEBANON ~ Tripoli ~

... Lovely view of the coastal side and harbor (Al-Mina) of Tripoli... this Middle Eastern jewel and capital of the North of Lebanon sits on the beautiful Mediterranean coast... Lebanon’s second-largest city, offers a rich blend of history, culture, and stunning Mediterranean architecture... a mix of ancient buildings, lively markets, and cultural wonders with modern charm makes it a remarkable destination in Lebanon... I really thought the card was lost because it took almost a year to arrive😊...Thanks a lot Nassib!【ツ】 

Lebanon is located along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea bordered by Israel and Syria and  is one of the world's oldest countries.

Lebanon's history makes a country with a diverse population with diverse religious and ethnic groups. After independence tension increased between different groups. The country has been plagued by conflicts and civil war (1975-1990), most of them over religion. The civil war ended in 1990, but violence continues in Lebanon. In southern Lebanon violence continues between the terrorist group Hezbollah and Israel forces.
