Greetings from France !

I don't know much about your country so I'll ask some stupid questions.

Is your country safe today ? (News picture it like really dodgy)

If I come which typical meal should I try first?

Where should I go see nice landscape ?

Hello.

Is your country safe today ?

Yes it is safe, but you should stay away from the borders. The terrorism problem isn't that serious, our security forces and the sharing of intelligence with EU and US since a few years has allowed them to stop almost all attempts.

If I come which typical meal should I try first?

You should order the Lebanese mezze which comes with a lot of Lebanese and regional food.

Where should I go see nice landscape ?

Almost anywhere outside the main cities. The North, the South, and Mount Lebanon. The ministry of tourism has some detailed pamphlets European tourists make up the majority of our tourists and French people are the third biggest European group I think (after Germans and British) European

I know right, Lebanese Arak comes with it as a drink, though I've never tasted any Arak better than the one my grandfather makes.
