The esteemed Cedars of Lebanon, bestowed the prestigious title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, find their place on this map. Luring sun-seekers, the pristine beaches of Jounieh and Tripoli grace the map, as do the beckoning slopes of Faraya and Zaarour, promising the thrill of skiing. The bustling cities of Beirut, Tripoli, and Sidon stand proudly, inviting exploration and discovery.

To enrich our understanding, it's worth noting that the map bears the creative touch of Paul Koroleff, a maestro hailing from Russian-Lebanese heritage, renowned for his prowess in graphic design and illustration. Its publication is credited to the esteemed Paul Khalil Aouad, a Lebanese luminary specializing in travel and tourism publications, bestowing upon this map an air of authority and authenticity.

In summation, the Pictorial Map of Lebanon, a product of the artistic brilliance of Paul Koroleff, is a testament to the nation's allure, a treasure trove of information, a piece of collectible art, and a testament to the publisher's dedication to showcasing Lebanon's splendor to the world.
