The first stop was a trip to Baalbek, centuries old ruins. It was absolutely incredible and my favorite part of the trip. I don't know anything else about the ruins because our tour guide was useless and only wanted to get his son married off.
Next stop was the Baatara Gorge Waterfall which was lovely.
We had lunch in Byblos, a lovely, old, and touristy city.
Last stop was to the statue of Our Lady of Lebanon, a statue of Mary on the top of mountain. (Lebanon is half Christian and half Muslim. It was cool to see churches and mosques mixed equally throughout the country.) We took a cable car ride to the top of the mountain and the views were unbelivable.
We heard a lot of good things about the nightlife in Lebanon. We started out the night with some fun spots.
Eventually we made our way to the famous B018, which is an underground bunker turned into a nightclub. It was hilariously underwhelming. Let me show you the pictures from the internet:
It was not that. It was more like 20 people standing around in a dark room.
We had to go back in the light of day to find a lost bag and it really just looked like a bunker.
That was it, short and sweet. I already can't wait to go back for more manakish.
