In a series of compelling accounts, Martijn van der Kooij sketches a modern, sensual and often perplexing country. He comes into close contact with Hezbollah, dips into the nightlife of glamorous Beirut, lives a spine-tingling adventure in ‘tricky’ Tripoli and goes in search of a hidden synagogue. Lebanon 24/7 is an extraordinary portrait of a country that is both historically and culturally deeply connected to Europe. Dive into this world to meet the author and his Lebanese friends.
This book can be used as both an introduction to Lebanon and as a travel guide. This edition contains a brand new, up-to-date introduction and extra travel tips, including safety warnings. There is a special section for LGBTQI travellers.
