    Prince Fakhreddine al-Macni II Biography1 and Prominent Achievements Background He is the son of Prince Qūrqmāz Macan, known as Fakhreddine al Macni II or Fakhreddine, and is named after his grandfather. He is referred to as “The Great” for he was one of the greatest princes in Lebanon during the 16th and 17th centuries. Prince Qurqmāz Fakhreddine came to power in 1545 after the death of his father, Fakhreddine I. Qurqmāz liked the Lebanese people who took him as their role model. In 1584 he was killed by Ibrahim Pasha after being accused of stealing the treasury money, leaving two sons: Fakhreddine II and Yūnis. Origin Fakhreddine II was born in Bcaqlīn on August 6th, 1572. His father died when he was 12 years old (13 according to some references). His mother as-Sit Nasab then tried to keep ash-Shūf District until her son reached the age of maturity. Fearing that the Ottomans would aggress her sons, she asked al Hajj Kiwān, her House Manager, to hide them in a safe place. Passing through Anṭilyās, after fleeing to cAkkār during the night, al Hajj Kiwān ran into a friend of his, Abū Ṣaqr Ibrahīm Bin ash-Shidyāq Sarkīs al-Khazīn, who convinced him to hide in his house. They then went to the Convent of St. Joseph in Bḥirṣāf, and then to Ballūnāh in Kisirwān. It was said that when Ibrahīm Pasha left the country, haykh al-Khāzin sent the two princes to their uncle Emīr Sayf-id-Dīn at-Tannūkhī, W Al-ī of ash-Shūf District.

  • Annex C Country Specific Information.Pdf
    - Annex C Country Specific Information The proposed games should be designed to be applied at one of the sites listed below. Nevertheless, the cross-border and cross-site applicability of the games is also important and as such, the proposed games should not be so specific that they cannot be ported to another site. Four countries have been selected for these games, including Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, and Spain. In each country, a minimum of two destinations (three sites) are listed for you to choose from. 1. Definition of Destinations and sites Hereby we define a (tourist) destination as a city, town, or other type of geographical area that is dependent to a significant extent on revenues from tourism, or a country, state, region, city, or town which is marketed or markets itself as a place for tourists to visit. It may contain one or more tourist sites. A single-site destination may be possible if the site has enough entity to become a pole of attraction for tourists by itself, and in this case site and destination may be represented by a single concept (e.g., Disneyland). A (touristic) site is a place of interest where tourists visit, typically for its inherent or an exhibited natural or cultural value, historical significance, natural or built beauty, offering leisure and amusement (e.g., a museum, a typical building, a culturally valuable street, an archaeological site). All game proposals must be oriented towards the gamification of the experience of at least one site among all those sites offered in the project. The following subsections define the available destinations and sites in each one of the participant countries, as well as the proposed games that will be developed internally.
