Lebanon has a mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summer, and cool rainy winter.

It has a fertile soil, and is very good for agriculture. Lebanon is a source of citruss fruits for the gulf and arab countries.

(missing article) Líbano es un pequeño país montañoso en el Mar Mediterráneo, entre Siria y Palestina.
(You need to use different wording instead of 'en', which means that your country is in the sea. Look up how to say 'that borders', for example.)

El idioma oficial de Líbano es (missing article) árabe, y (missing article) francés es extensamente usado por la gente en comparación con (missing article) inglés.
(The stuff in purple is in the passive voice. Spanish doesn't use the passive voice nearly as often as English. Try using the 'pasiva refleja' instead.)

(missing article) Líbano tiene un clima mediterráneo, con verano(pluralize and watch agreement with the adjectives) caliente y seco, e invierno(pluralize and watch agreement with the adjectives) fresco y lluvioso ~~chulo~~.

(missing article) Líbano es una fuente de cítricos para el golfo y (missing article) países árabes.

(missing article) Líbano tiene tanto la belleza natural, como ~~sus~~ sitios ~~web~~ históricos. Estos son dos motivos por qué turistas de todas las partes de la visita mundial Líbano.
(The stuff in purple looks like it was incorrectly entered into a machine translator. You'll need to translate the more literal "for the which the tourists from all the parts of the world visit Lebanon.")

Mientras usted está en Líbano, (usted) puede ver (missing article) ruinas de (here is where 'era' goes, with an article and watch agreement of the adjectives that follow) ~~los~~ fenicios, Canaanita y ~~era~~ egipcia, y (usted) puede ver las montañas y los cedros.

Tener la costa tan cerca de las montañas hace (missing conjunction) el esquí (missing 'to be' verb, conjugated in the subjunctive mood) de una parte posible de su día en Líbano, donde podrían disfrutar de más de una actividad."

Thanks in advance.

Good job. I've marked several items that need to be corrected. There are possibly more. Fix the problems that you can and repost so we can have another look.
If you have questions about anything, please ask.
