This is what Lebanon cares to brag about

"Offbeat Traveler: Lebanon boasts the world's largest hotel suite." This is the real claim to fame for Lebanon: sex tourism. By the way, what the article does not tell you is this: Brummana (or Broummana) is very popular with oil-rich Gulf Arabs. So years ago, they wanted to build a mosque in the town. The people there were adamant that they would not let them and they did not let them. They wanted Gulf cash, but they did not want the cash dispensers to pray in their town. (thanks Bill)
