The pictures you see below are a result of his most recent aerial adventures above the often-volatile Middle Eastern nation in 2019.

They show the beautifully diverse landscape of the country including the golden sandy beaches of Zouk Mosbeh, the picturesque ski resort of Mzaar Kfardebian, Baalbek's mysterious ancient ruins and the buzzing capital city of Beirut, teeming with people during an anti-government protest last October.

Rami told MailOnline Travel: 'The images I have taken stand for the Lebanon we believe in and the Lebanon we are fighting for. They have inspired people to become more positive towards the country regardless of the crisis that Lebanon has been going through.

'I do believe that the perception of Lebanon has reached a new level because people are becoming more reactive to the shots and are engaging with them and inviting their friends to visit the mentioned sites. I hope that this change will keep on going in a positive direction to help people see the true colours of Lebanon.' Scroll down to discover Lebanon's unique and diverse landscape...
