A short morning drive Southeast of Beirut and here we are in Beiteddine people’s palace, the Cavaliers section, the presidential section and the Mosaics sellers.
The 18th and 19th centuries, the making of Lebanon’s modern history, The Emirs, Rulers of Mount Lebanon district, the Ottomans and the French, the palaces, life at that epoch, Rulers duties, their plans, local customs & tradition, the mulberries and silk factories, The Druze of Lebanon…
Mussa palace, a man’s dream came true, three levels of an interesting gallery and guns museum… what a nice collection of weapon I say! How well displayed, I state…
Then here we are exploring the village of Deir elQamar the Capital of the Emirs once said!
We will have a moderate walk around the old tight streets where a 14th century Mosque stands in the middle of a historical square and next to a miraculous Cathedral.
