Its white mountains coated with fresh snow each winter and amazing weather and temperatures have made of it, like the Swiss Alps, a popular destination for winter sports, especially skiing and snowboarding. Not only that, but the sophistication and openness to other cultures paired with the love of life of the Lebanese people, as opposed to its other less progressed neighboring countries is one of the reasons behind that nickname as well.<\/p>\n 2- The Pearl of the Middle East: \u062c\u0648\u0647\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0642 <\/strong><\/p>\n One of the most popular nicknames for Lebanon is this one as well.
