Lebanon

Lebanon has an incredibly rich history. Sadly, the past decade has been underlined by complicated geopolitical events and ongoing instability in certain areas of the country.

Lebanon is wedged in between Israel and Syria. This location has proven both a blessing and a curse throughout human history. Lebanon contains an abundance of ancient Roman ruins, historic churches and mosques, and snow-capped desert peaks.

The small Middle Eastern jewel has always been an intoxicating clash of cultures and the melting pot of the capital Beirut is a nod to the nation’s past. It’s usual to hear a mix of Arabic, French, English, and even Armenian and Greek being spoken in the streets. The country’s food, music, art, and architecture are all a reflection of this multiculturalism.

Once known as the Paris of the Middle East, Beirut is dotted with breathtaking beachside restaurants, beautiful bars, and a thriving nightlife. Equally, pockets of Beirut and the country are strictly conservative in direct contrast with this progressive part of Lebanese culture.

The country is a middle-income, service-based economy with strong banking and tourism industries. The multicultural nature of the population means Beirut is littered with a large community of expats and employers will find a haven of experienced and highly educated professionals with the capacity and intention to work remotely.
