Lebanon: A new destination for religious tourism?
July 10, 2017
Mosques, maqams, cathedrals, monasteries, zawiyas, madrassas, a synagogue … the list of 83 historical religious sites selected for an imposing new coffee table book, published as part of the government’s “cultural religious tourism” project, is as varied as Lebanon’s religious landscape. “The book’s title, ‘Lebanon: Celebrating Our Diversity,’ is a message in itself,” says Roula Ajouz, project coordinator of the Cultural Religious Tourism (CRT) unit created by the Prime Minister, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Tourism (MoT) and other ministries. “Enough with the expression ‘inter-religious dialogue.’ It sounds like we’re living together because we have to,” adds Ajouz, who is also the general manager of Cedar Wings, Middle East Airlines’ inflight magazine.

EIDUL Fitr is just around the corner with the month of Ramazan heading towards its final week. It is during this period that most Muslims throughout the world tend to give zakat, sadqaat (charity) and donations to the less fortunate in society.
Despite all its problems, one of the more redeemable aspects of Pakistani society is that people here tend to be very charitable. As the state has mostly abdicated its responsibility in various spheres, citizens often go out of their way to help others, creating a social safety net of sorts. Much of this can be attributed to the Islamic emphasis on charity and Ihsan (roughly translated as excellence, or striving to go the extra mile to help others).
