Musical instuments
Lute
The lute is a word which comes from the Spanish laud, which came from the Arabic word for the
instrument, al-ud (meaning the branch of a tree). The lute is shaped like a half pear with a short
fretted neck.

Mijwiz
The mijwiz, which literally means "double" in Arabic, is a very popular instrument used in Lebanese
music. It is a type of reed clarinet. It is played by breathing smoothly through a circular aperture at
the end and by moving the fingers over the holes down the front of the tube in order to create the
different notes.

Tabla
The tablah is a small hand-drum. Most tablahs are beautifully decorated, some with wood, tile or
bone inlay, etched metal, or paintings in designs typical of the Near East., the tablah is
a membranophone of goat or fish skin stretched over a vase-shaped drum with a wide neck. Usually
made of earthenware or metal, it is placed either under the left arm or between the legs and struck in
the middle for the strong beats and on the edge for the sharp in-between beats.

Food
The Lebanese diet focuses on herbs, spices, and fresh ingredients (the
Lebanese rarely eat leftovers), relying less on heavy sauces. Mint, parsley,
oregano, garlic, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon are the most common
seasonings.

Bread, a staple food in Lebanon, is served with almost every meal, most
often as a flat bread, or pita. It is so crucial to the Lebanese diet that some
Arabic dialects refer to it as esh, meaning "life."

The national dish, kibbeh, consists of a ground lamb and cracked wheat
paste, similar to pat. Kibbeh was originally made by harshly pounding the
lamb and kneading in the spices and wheat.

Compare to Canadian food, these dishes are based around many different
combined spices and fresh ingredience

Business Etiquette Lebanon

Communication Styles

The Lebanese are very touchy-feely. Direct eye contact with a lot of physical contact is
the cornerstones of Lebanese communication. Try not to break the eye contact as this
conveys trust, sincerity and honesty. However, interestingly the situation is reversed
when dealing with elders where prolonged direct eye contact is considered rude and
challenging.
For the most part, Lebanese try not to lose their tempers publicly since such behavior
demonstrates a weakness of character. However, if they think that their honor has been
impugned or that their personal honor has been challenged, they will raise their voice
and employ sweeping hand gestures in their vociferous attempt to restore their honor.

conclusion

to conclude there are some parts of Lebanon that are off limits but I wouldnt
mind visiting some of the nicer parts like the capital city of Lebanon which is
Beirut to experience some of the different culture and mannerisms that
Lebanon practices.
