I think your teacher never been there too . Akkar is , Lebanon 34 . 5526306 , 36 . 0695418 , 11 zdata ! 3 m 1 ! 4 b 1 ! 4 m 5 ! 3 m 4 ! 1 s 0 x 152218 a 7836 d 51 eb 0 xd 212915 a 364 b 127 a ! 8 m 2 ! 3 d 34 . 544034 ! 4 d 36 . 07983 . Some parts are close to the borders so of course you have to avoid them . I ' ve never been to Akkar but I hear the roads are shitty in terms of infrastructure and it will take you long hours to reach any region there . Some people complain that Akkar is neglected by the government so that means some areas are probably not safe . A friend of mine went there for hunting and he was thretened that he will be shot by some locals who where hunting there . Try to convince your teacher to give you another place . Of course some areas are perfectly safe but if you ' ve never been there or if you don ' t know someone from there I say don ' t take any risk .
