In the Middle East part of the world, there is a tiny country that is perched on the Mediterranean Sea. Halfway down the Mediterranean coastline, on a tiny peninsula jutting into the Sea, is Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. Beirut is a different sort of place. It's smaller than traditional capital cities, and this puts all the interesting things within walking distance of each other. It also has a very noticeable mixture of cultures, people, and religions, which helps amp up the interest level.
