Introduction / History

Some Lebanese consider themselves Arabs while others associate themselves with the ancient Phoenicians. Both groups have made their mark on world history through trade and power. Others consider the Lebanese to be Levantine Arabs, referring to those who originated in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine or Syria. Some also include Arabs from Egypt, Iraq and Turkey. Like their ancient ancestors, today's Lebanese Arabs live all over the world. One can find them in most parts of the world including the United Kingdom.
There have been small numbers of Lebanese migrating to the UK since the 17th century. However, most came starting in 1975 with the Lebanese Civil War. Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon sent more people fleeing that small country. Other Lebanese fled from Nigeria for the UK because of dictatorial governments.

What Are Their Beliefs?

What Are Their Needs?
