First, Let me command you on the wonderful effort in putting such a small but large village on the world map.
I was born in kaftoun, grew up amongst all the people you have posted on the site. It is overwhelming to be able to rekindle the old memories through this web.
I left my beautiful kaftoun in 1975, but the memories are as fresh as yesterdays.
I would love to make contact with as many kaftouni people as possible. Please drop me an email on cannarg@bigpond.com
Keep up the wonderful work. |  | | | Ahmed | Signed on: Fri 16 Feb 2007 13:12:00 EST

Thanks Jay for introducing me to this website. It was great seeing you all and knowing your news,(my mom looks great and I miss her very much). I'll be checking in quite often to check what's new. Seeing the new generation of young boys and girls made me wonder if I could send my Kids' pictures to be part of the Kaftoun family.
It brought tears to my eyes to see grandfathers work and thak you so much for reminding us of the good old days. | | | | Yaser | Signed on: Sun 23 Jan 2005 14:12:42 EST

I happened to be searching through mamboportal.com and was made aware
of your website.
I had to take a moment and stop to write you. I love what you have
done with your site and congratulate you on your great use of Mambo.
I wish you the happiest and healthiest of New Years.
Regards,

The Village of Kaftoun, Koura, Lebanon
Guest Book 
This lovely mountain resort town is perched above the eastern end of
the beautiful Kadisha Gorge and at the foothills of the Cedars of Lebanon.
It is the brith place of Lebanon's most famous author
Khalil Gibran. It has a small museum which pays tribute to him.
Beiteddine palace was built over a period of thirty years by Emir Bechir Chehab II.
It's architecture reflects the typical oriental architecture of the 19th century Ottoman Era.
It is remarkable for its glamorous
arcades, multicolored mosaic floors, reception rooms, harems, hammams
and even by its guest house "Diyafa" where passing guests were lodged
(French poet Lamartine stayed once there).
Detail of the Sarcophagus of Ahiram, king of Byblos, seated
on a cherub throne, before an offering table, 13th century B.C (National Museum of Beirut).
Around 1200 B.C. the scribes of Byblos developed an alphabetic phonetic script, the precursor of our modern
alphabet. By 800 B.C., it had traveled to Greece, changing forever the way man communicated.
Located in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon, Baalbek is an ancient city
that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Originally
Canaanite (3rd century BC), the Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines,
and Arabs successively occupied Ba'albek and left their imprints on the
place, often modifying what existed previously.
