Lebanon
A slim Mediterranean country where snowy peaks look down on beaches, and cedar trees have symbolised the land for millennia. Beirut has been rebuilt so many times it's lost count.
WHAT THE FLAG MEANS â—¢
Two red horizontal bands top and bottom with a wider white band between, bearing a green cedar tree in the centre. Red signifies sacrifice, white peace and the snow of the mountains, and the cedar immortality and the country itself.
