Lebanon II

Night view of the Pigeon Rocks, which sit in the Mediterranean Sea just off the coast of Beirut's cliff-side Corniche Road. The shores near the Pigeon Rocks have yielded the area's oldest evidence of human existence, with flints and basic stone tools dating, in some cases, as far back as a million years ago.

Thanks again to Hicham for send me another Lebanon card! :-)

Lebanon

Deir el Kamar is a village in south-central Lebanon that was the residence of the governors of Lebanon during the Ottoman period. It is notable for its numerous historical buildings, and also as the birthplace of many well known personalities, such as artists, writers, and politicians. 

Big thanks to Couchsurfer Hicham for sending me my first postcard from Lebanon!
