@ Mike
Thanks for the update – as always in these situations, it’s best to get local advice on the latest situation and where it’s safe to travel, but overall I hope that Lebanon will remain stable enough not to deter travellers from visiting as it’s such a beautiful country.

Was in Beirut and Bekka Valley in July. Sadly, the political situation in Lebanon is deteriorating once again at a fairly rapid pace. Consequently, I would seriously advise against any trips to Tyre for the immediate future. UNIFIL forces have been attacked recently by Hezbollah inspired locals and the anticipated Sept or Oct announcement by the UN Special Tribul for Lebanon on the Hariri assasination (STL) is expected to implicate Hezbollah individuals in the bombing. The response could lead to some unfortunate incidents. Stay above the Litani for now !

I’m drawn to off-the-beaten-path travel experiences. Your day in Sidon looked like a lovely experience judging from the photos. Thanks for the introduction.

Gosh I love these out of the way places, untouched by the tourist hordes. Especially like the imagery of walking down a dead-end alley and being rescued by a laughing boy. Mae me want to go there right now.

What a mix – casles, coastlines, cafes and coffees. And those remarkable middle eastern souks.
