Lebanon,
unfolding.
A journey from Mediterranean mornings to the mountain roads beyond.
Begin the journeyExplore the film
Take the
scenic way.
Follow the shoreline. Climb into the hills. Let one place lead to the next.
First,
the sea.
Salt in the air. Boats in the harbour. A slow walk through Byblos, with no particular reason to hurry.
Stay by the sea ↗Higher.
Slower.
Leave the waterfront behind. In Bsharri, red rooftops give way to the folds of the Qadisha Valley. Stay a little longer.
Find your mountain pause ↗And just when you think you’ve seen Lebanon…
