Apple Shares Breathtaking Photos of Lebanon on Instagram

While we didn’t need anyone to tell us how stunning Lebanon is, it’s always nice to see our country featured on a global stage. As part of their #ShotoniPhone social media campaign, Apple captivated the world with breathtaking photos showcasing the natural beauty of Lebanon. Captured entirely on iPhone by Lebanese videographer Michel Fakhoury, the photos highlight the raw beauty of the Lebanese mountains bathed in the soft glow of dawn.

The three-photo carousel features the serene and picturesque slopes of Mzaar Kfardebian. Captioned with, “Waking up at 4:00 a.m. with a group of friends, we decided to embark on an adventure to witness the mountain slopes and reach the top of the Mzaar Kfardebian mountain, 2,465 meters above sea level,” Michel Fakhoury perfectly encapsulates the spirit of adventure and the beauty of Lebanon’s winter wonderland. The photo had amassed over 52,000 likes at the time of publishing.
