Every time Jacob Berger tells people in America that he is going to Lebanon, he gets the same two questions. Is it not a war zone? Are you scared? He has now been to the country twice, from Tripoli in the north to Baalbek in the east, and Tyre in the south. <\/p>\n

Along the way he has been dancing dabke, eating manakish and filing a traffic report from a paraglider over Jounieh. His answer to the fear is not an argument. It is a camera. Tourism here has collapsed and he wants people to see what is actually here. <\/p>\n

This is the part of Lebanon that almost never makes it onto a Western news bulletin.<\/p>\n
