Dear Kelly

I am from Lebanon; I want to invite you to visit Tripoli. It is 85 kilometers north of Beirut, Known as the capital of the North. Tripoli is Lebanon�s second largest city. Tripoli goes back to at least the 14th century B.C., but it wasn't until about the 9th century B.C. that the Phoenicians established a small trading station there. There are many places to visit in Tripoli like: The Citadel, Church of St. John of the Pilgrims Mount, Tayn�l Mosque, Khanqash, Hammam 'Izz Ed-D�ne, Hammam el-Abed, Kh�n Al-Khayyatin, Kh�n Al-Misriyy�n, Souk Al-Haraj. And there are many islands near Tripoli like Palm Trees or Rabbit's Island. Tripoli is not very expansive and you will enjoy your holiday in it. For more information visit our web, www.lebanon.com, www.tripoli-lebanon.com.

Hi Kelly.
If you want to visit Lebanon in your holiday, I advice you to visit Faraya mountains .In faraya you can have a very nice winter holiday, because there you can find one of the best ski slopes. And next to Faraya you can find very beautiful natural monuments, like in Faytroun and Faqra. If you want information's about these places, you can send to my email what you want and I will reply.

I moved to lebanon, because it is a nice country and nice weather all seasons. Their is lots of nice rivers where you can spend your day on and have a picnic with freinds and look at the mountains. At the same time, you could go to the beach and then go to the mountains. It's not far to go to the mountains at the same time. If you want to come to lebanon their is lots of historical places where most turism go to. If you want to come to Lebanon you can come over to my house and I can take where ever you want to go and spend your time as ( clubbing,historical places, downtown,beach,skiing,and their is lots of other things you could do at the same time).For more information, send me an email on [email protected] , or you could go to google search and write Lebanon and now more about it.
