Lebanon often conjures up images of a war-torn land decimated by fighting, but Valerie discovers there is much more to this part of the world. The Lebanese are hard at work restoring the structures that have been damaged by fighting, and from the ashes rise new buildings. Valerie delves into the long and tumultuous history of a land that boasts the largest and best-preserved Roman Temple anywhere (Baalbek), as well as a city with 7,000-year-old roots (Byblos). Explore with her the visual wonders of the Beiteddine Palace, Pigeon Rocks and the Jeita Grotto. Experience the magic of the land that brought us Kahlil Gibran and continues to guard the Cedars of the Lord. Beautiful and inspiring, Lebanon is one of the extraordinary places included in the second season of Valerie Pringle Has Left the Building.
