We get the chance to widen our global networking through social interactivity between different LCs and MCs of the world and help one another to be able to make AIESEC grow further.

Beirut city, the capital of Lebanon. Needless to say anything about it, the picture speaks for itself.
Hint: pay attention to the picture, you will be able to see the contrast between luxurious new building and old traditional Lebanese building. One of the few countries where you will be capable to witness the fusion between Western and Oriental.
Beirut City at night: The city that never sleeps.
Cultural Diversity: The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque Mosque and the Saint George Cathedral is a must see.
