Not sure if you consider Lebanon typically "Arab" as there is much European influence, the Christian sector consider themselves more European than Arabian, the history is Phonecian with a lot of Roman influence, and it's placed in EURCOM as far as military strategy is concerned.
That said - GREAT food. Beautiful Meditteranean, snow topped mountains, cedars, Roman ruins, incredible night life (consistently ranked in the top 10 in the world), friendly people, one of the oldest cities in the world (Byblos), casinos, completely renovated and glitzy shopping areas that outdo 5th Avenue and compare well with Paris, and a very Western feel as far as dress and attitude. Very few in Islamic dress - certainly no more than London or Paris. Did I mention drop dead GOURGEOUS women?
It is a very open society with very few restirctions. These people really know how to live.
negative? - Traffic in Beirut sucks.
