Description
The city of Baalbeck, with its mosques, stone houses, local restaurants and delicious pastry bakeries welcome the tourist with a smile and a wish for them to return after every visit. The old Palmyra hotel, reminiscent of the days of archaeological exploration from the late 19th century and the glamour of German Prussian emperors, Agatha Christie and Miles Davis dwelling in its chambers and whispering to each other in its hidden corridors, taking the present tourist on journey through the centuries and across long lost civilizations.”
