She then asked them about the beautiful pink trees near them, that is in Beirut, Lebanon. Her dad immediately surprised her with a beautiful picture of such a tree in Byblos, a historic (5000+ years BC) Mediterranean city located North of the capital Beirut. Byblos is related to the history\/diffusion of the Phoenician alphabet. It is also known as <em>Jbeil<\/em> in Arabic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi would like to begin by thanking her dad for inspiring this post simply meant to share this publicly available artistic picture with you :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, here is the picture in question!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Byblos_De-Papa.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Byblos_De-Papa.jpg 512w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Byblos_De-Papa-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 85vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>A spring scene in Byblos, Lebanon taken from <em>Ashraf_nas<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, Bambi will also share a very short video produced by the <em>UNESCO<\/em> and taken from its website: <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/295\/\">https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/295\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Byblos (Lebanon) -Site management during COVID-19 pandemic\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IIVJqpAUNeg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, just to conclude this post on a musical note, here is the talented Ms. Hiba Tawaji paying tribute to the eternal Dalida at the <em>Byblos International Festival<\/em> (July, 2016) with her unique intepretation of &#8220;Mourir sur sc\u00e8ne&#8221;.
