New One Billion Dollar US Embassy in Lebanon

Stretching across a 43-acre site, the massive US embassy compound in Lebanon can be taken as a city of its own, as per CNN. The size of the complex is mammoth and it can be better understood when seen in comparison to some of the well-known structures of our times such as the White House itself. The compound which lies in the Beirut suburb of Awkar is almost two-and-a-half times the size of the White House land.
