Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Rashaya Citadel, Rashaya Lebanon

In 1943, the members of the new Lebanese Government, President Beshara el-Khoury himself, the Speaker of Parliament Adel Osseyran, and ministers Camille Shamoun, Abdel-Hamid Karameh and Selim Takla, were imprisoned in the citadel of Rashaya. The latter quickly disavowed the Commissioner’s action, so the prisoners left the citadel of Rashaya head high to declare the Independence of the Lebanese Republic on November 22nd. The Citadel of Independence is a tourist site that can be visited while under the army's surveillance. The entrance price is very minimal.
