The nation of Lebanon is on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Syria and Israel. Travelers to Lebanon would be wise to practice one of the local languages; Lebanese people speak Arabic, French and Armenian in addition to English. The capital of Lebanon is Beirut, and many hotels and resorts are located there.
