I Tried Tripoli's Famous SWEETS 🍬 🇱🇧 (Lebanon 4K)

[@Racoon_raccoon]

I have tasted balkawa and kunefeh in istanbul and i can honestly say with a clear mind that sweets are 100 times tastier in Lebanon 🇱🇧 😋 love your videos 🥰🥰

[@Lemon99100]

Hi Emily, I've recently discovered (and bingewatched) your channel and you show all your destinations in a fantastic light. As a Lebanese/Tripolitan abroad, it's beautiful to see how you've captured a nation on its knees in such a positive light. It's important to let the world know that Lebanon is 'heaven on earth', but has unfortunately been taken advantage of. Wish you and Val all the best, and here's to many more adventures! 💙🇱🇧

[@mudi8456]

Thank you for this beautiful talk about Lebanon. We, as Lebanese, hope that our country will be more beautiful so that we can welcome the whole world into our homes, because it is really beautiful. It is the unity between the world and peace is very important. Thank you!! 🤗

[@cityboyis2]

@@mytube9080 you have no idea, these are not normal begging children, they are gypsy's and their parents use the children to go out and beg for money. When you put yourself in Ahmad's place and have to deal with this harassment every day then you would behave in the exact same way.

The video is fantastic, guys :) I hope I can make it to Lebanon this summer. I liked the Jam shop. I expect that it's delicious :))) Ahmed was a nice guy, but in my opinion, he ruined everything at the end when he behaved rudely with the Syrian homeless kids. I can understand they are annoying, but there is always a better way to teach those kids to be respectable and not follow people.

[@ghass2006]

I thought I was the only one that noticed that part. I agree, he should have just ignored them and leave them be if he doesn't want to give them anything.

[@republicofshadistan7457]

The syrian children won't leave you until they squeeze the last of your nerves, even if you ignore them. It was right for Ahmad to shout at them because they wouldn't listen if Ahmad was calm. These children are annoyingly persistent.

[@abdulrahmanelkorek3042]

​@@republicofshadistan7457 I'm afraid I have to disagree with your point of view. Shouting it can never be a solution to creating a better society.

[@palestinabaddie]

[@cityboyis2]

These kids are most likely children of the gypsy clan. They are nomads that live in eastern europe and into the middle east. They are found through out lebanon. That's how they operate, it's organized harassment of people, especially tourist to get money for the parents. You shouldn't blame Ahmed, his behaviour is what is required. It's called tough love and message to their parents that this is not the right way to make a living. Gypsy's don't work, that's how they live. All syrians in lebanon get funding from the united nations and some gulf states so there is no reason these kids would be syrian.

ORANGE BLOSSOM WATER, Im from the north as well Koura Kousba not far from Tripoli its a village but like a modern village . So we have a tradition there We drink it with hot water We call it Café blanc (french for White coffee ) rarely known in arabic as ahweh bayda often we use the french name. Its great for digestion and relaxing after a long day Contrary to the coffee ot will calm youuu Just boil the water turn off the fire Add few spoons "till taste" the orange blossom water, and sugar is needed guess valentine will do hahah And drink it its yummy

[@ChrisParker30]

Just a question: Why didn't you help that little girl? She needed money. Didn't that translator explain to you what she wanted? She told you my sister is sick and she works for her, and what did you do? You ignored her with rudeness. It's enough if you give her just one dollar, She really needed it shame on you.🤬

[@MrDecapitate]

lmao, and you believed everything she said? those beggars are part of organized gangs, they're not homeless and their little brothers aren't sick, their parents send them to beg on the streets on daily basis and that's how they make a living instead of finding a normal job and sending their children to school to have an education and live a normal childhood, by giving money to those children you're not helping them, it's actually the opposite, you're encouraging them to continue begging instead of learning a skill or something they can rely on. but you don't live in Lebanon so you don't know any of that, I suggest you don't shame people before you know the truth of what's really happening, this comment makes you look kind-hearted but very naive.

[@AbiNomac]

After you praise Tripoli and it’s nice people you enter beggars “corner”. Lol

[@khxvistudios1987]

I don't know if my comment is helpful since you quit Lebanon from a year Emily but Ahmed is not the best guide. He made you visit some of the places and not all of them. Since you don't know well what he is saying to the locals, he is talking as he is the boss from some words. The last part is understandable from the begging of these Syrian peoples. Thank you again for your videos ❤❤

[@AdnanZakaria1]

Peace be upon you, camel. I want to explain Ahmed’s job in this video. He says to the homeless child who asks him for money, quit, but in a tactless way, and he was going to hit this boy. Instead of yelling at them, you could talk to them and give them what they ask for, which is 1000 lira, which is not worth anything, and tell them May God bless you instead of wearing them. These are children who have no fault. Please pay attention to this point.

[@axel3324]

exactly

[@yazenahmad]

I agree 100%. I just commented something similar because it bothered me so much.

[@28Justchecking]

@@r.a4623 @Adnan Zakaria Don't let your feeling drives u His attitude was BADDD But even by the law u r not supposed to give money because thats contributing with blackmarket Making kids work on the street These kids are 90% are from camps Palestinian, Syrian , non registered gypsies Rich pple send them to teh street with the collaboration of the parents And they split the money at the end of the day With the mafia and the parents So no money should he given but proposé them food or drink this way u will he helping them because they are all day out with no food or water and they are not allowed using their money for that

[@abdulrahmanelkorek3042]

I totally agree. But maybe Ahmed he deserve a second chance in my opinion. He did mistakes by forcing his opinion on some decisions and the angry behavior. Maybe he didn't notice that in a certain degree.

[@yazenahmad]

I've never commented on a KZbin video before, however after seeing your tour guide/translator's actions, I must comment. I watched the earlier video about Ramadan nightlife in Tropoli and he was so rude to the workers at the shops. No, this is not the way Arabs argue or bargain. I thought he was rude in the previous video, but didn't comment. In this video, I was furious after seeing Ahmed treat the kids that way. He had no right to attack the little children like that. 1000 Lebanese Lira is about 3 cents in USD. That amount of money isn't going to break any western tourist. I get why you didn't give the kids money and that's not the issue I'm commenting about. I personally never give homeless people money in the streets of U.S cities or at traffic lights. That's fine. Don't give them money, **but also don't attack them and treat them like second class citizens**. To be clear, I don't blame you guys. Your tour guide is utterly disrespectful and didn't let you guys do your own thing. You should've called him out though. You can clearly see the tension. Those little kids have no one on their side in real life, but I'm glad some people have hearts on the internet and some comments agree with my thoughts. Put yourself in their shoes for just a second. They could be lying about the need for money or honest. Money isn't the point. You don't have to give them money, but please don't treat them like second class humans. As an Arab-American, Ahmed's actions really bothered me and I started to tear-up. It's disgraceful. I hope you can at least address it because it was huge deal and really bothered people. Please never have Ahmed as your tour guide. He's the worst tour guide I've ever seen. He's so disrespectful to the workers in the shops, the kids on the street, and even you guys. He was so forcing on you guys and rude. Anyways, best of luck in your travels! Sorry for the long comment.... I just couldn't stay quiet for those poor kids.

[@georgesadam]

​@@georgesadam And I respect your opinion. To be clear, I'm not the only one that noticed this. Just look at the other comments and they share similar thoughts. I don't understand why you're defending him. You're probably related or know him and that's why you're defending him. No decent human being would defend those actions. I did not intent to "hate" on the guy. I'm simply providing my opinion on the situation. There's no "negative energy" - I formatted my message in the most respectful way possible. Would you like your kids to be yelled at by a teenager/young man like that? Anyways, have a great day! I appreciate your input.

[@28Justchecking]

I agree that he shouldnt yell and be rude But I wouldn't give money because when u give them u r contributing with blackmarket I think u need to know more Those kids are : Syrian refugee , Palestinian or Un registered Lebanese that they are from the gypsies they can't even be registered because noone in any of their generation was registered as Lebanese and often they use together Kurdish This act is completely illegal and u r not supposed to give them nothing But that doesnt mean to be rude with them . Who could've said I can't give u money but i can buy u food and drink And since fhey are not interested in that because who sent them to work on the streets wants money They gonna refuse. Their is a full documentaire and they have been a lot of talk shows because it increased lately since the Syrians are in its added more pple to that market
