Lebanon

Lebanon is the melting pot of the Arab world, a tiny country exploding with culture. Mack's only impression of the Middle East was what he saw on the news… so he's delighted to find that Beirut is a beach lover's dream. Lebanon is roughly the size of Connecticut, but it's crammed with breathtaking discoveries. Heartened by their singing driver named Jihad, Bob and Mack search for a Christian hermit in a holy valley, tour a towering Roman city on militia-controlled land, and paraglide over the stunning Phoenician coastline. It's here that Bob and Mack realize they have different points of view. When a drone crash on their second day in Beirut sets their plans off course, Mack and Bob split up and reflect on what they want out of their trip. In this complicated political landscape, Mack discovers why his dad loves going to places some might consider dangerous and Bob gets to see this complicated region through his son's eyes.
