Lebanon is located in the Middle East, bordering Israel and Syria. The capital is Beirut and the climate is Mediterranean. The population is majority Muslim and Christian. French influence is strong due to Lebanon previously being under French control, and the upper and middle classes continue to speak French. Eating in Lebanon is very family oriented and pork is forbidden under Islamic law.
