My First Day in Beirut Lebanon was Overwhelming | Lebanon 2024

[@Benwazworld]

This is what youtube is for not that over edited out of touch content where the influencer is in the center of the frame. You just want to say can you move ! . With you and other that go in the real life , real neighborhood we get real interaction where ist no longer tourist - local but human-human level. I like the POV filming. Really lets me as a viewer relax and just enjoy the view.

[@khaleemaalkainaat8178]

SAME! More travel vlogs need to do this style of POV filming. I want to see the city and hear commentary of personal experiences. Not watch someone get dressed a million times! 😂

[@Nubianette]

You couldn’t even get out of the airport, and there was a party! Lebanon has been high on my list. Get in, and enjoy the beautiful people, food, and area during one of the peaceful times.

Nice video! Just a small correction it's "Lira" not "Libra" lol Try to visit the countryside and other cities such as Batroun (A tourist coastal city), Ehden (a Mountain town with beautiful views that will shock you) and Byblos(the first or the second longest continuously inhabited city in the world). These are safe to visit now as they are in the North of country and don't have any threat of being targeted by war

[@josephbenadam]

Also Libra which the original word

[@definitelyavocadoboy]

And Harrisa big statue of mother of Jesus Christ (biggest statue in Lebanon ) and when the war ends go to jezzine so crowded at night songs everyone is freindly so fun I live in jezzine so there is lot of explosive hitting so close to it and then go at the morning in heath there is a place named Asmar he he's mankoushe there very yummy and try taboulé and other food then go to Starbucks in baabda and then go to kaftoun there is a big cave there pls like it toke me like 10 minutes ty

I'm glad that you mentioned that women are walking alone.. I want to visit Lebanon

[@classics39]

White female, visited for a week in 2018. Walked day and night. The most dangerous is traffic and pavements, be mindful of your steps.... people are just amazing, thinking what they're going through,they are deep in my heart. I want to go back soon. As it so happened, I ended up in South Beirut in a mini van (servis taxi) with Hezbollah guys. Incredibly respect- and helpful, made sure I got to the right place safely.

[@jamesbrown4364]

yup! with the situation Lebanon is going through most countries would be a wild west in crime. truly beautiful people.

[@all-caps3927]

@@classics39yeah the only danger in Lebanon is the traffic 😂. All the rules are out of the picture, it’s a free for all on those roads. Besides that, absolutely beautiful and incredible country, that used to be one of, if not the best country in the middle east

[@mariamsabra520]

⁠@@all-caps3927 traffic is the worst

[@livelaughlovejiniret]

you CAN visit lebanon, but there are scary parts. like you have to go in groups if your a woman tbh. people could bang on your door and pepper spray you once you open it so be careful, traffic is really annoying and could be dangerous so be careful while crossing roads!! ive met a few funny and humble people while i went around with my family (im lebanese but i only visit in the summer)

[@LebDusty]

glad you visited my Lebanon. hope you enjoyed it. wish i was there to give you good time

[@sanstheskeletong]

what is the beautiful glowing place straight ahead at 4:35? you were going the right way!

[@Bibo-f7v]

Our country was very good financially,but because of these horrible people in the black market,they started changing in the rates,they at last won and became richer and the people who also took risks and some of the people's salaries weren't fixed and to what they were originally and are struggling more.Not to mention our government who literally does nothing and instead is stealing from the country's money.😢😢I still remember when the exchange rate was 1 USD=1500 L.L😢.

Again thank you so much for respecting my country I am very happy and I am a proud Lebanese you have just got yourself a new sub and like!😉🥹✨ Edit: I’m sorry if when you arrive the airport is chaotic it not always like that actually 😂😅

[@Not_Roblox_Lilly]

As a Lebanese I could say that if you came before the war started you can go to the Janoub “Villages” and other places there also you could go to the high mountains the view is insane!! Welcome to our country i hope you visit sometime better and soon! 💓 Also in 0:21 they were doing Dabke (National dance!) 1:06 Haha! Yes in Lebanon electricity goes often! 5:16 Yes Lebanese money changes since the covid started when first of Covid-19 Lebanon became and expensive place, if you ask rich people in Lebanon what they think about prices they will tell you they r expensive.. 6:38 Yes, Lebanon is a muslim country but there r more Christian (Its the only arab country with more Christians!!)

[@Sacred_Samurai]

I'm from Lebanon, I've been there my whole life, I've never traveled sadly, so I know a thing or two about the towns and roads here, but I was surprised that I didn't even recognise a single road you were walking on 😂 Probably because I'm not from Beirut, I'm from Sfer, so that's pretty far. I was about to tell you about the reality of the currency until you figured it out yourself, so yeah. Fun fact: Before the covid pandemic, 1 usd used to be 1,500 LBP. Now it's 89,500(ish), and the highest it ever got was maybe a year ago, it got to like 140,000 😱 We were freakin out lemme tell you 😂 12:24 Those snips chips were the only thing I recognised in those bags, and they're 🔥. You should try the honey mustard ones they're honestly my favourite snips flavour. I hope you had fun in lebanon, I know it's pretty boring in the roads and towns, unless you go to the malls or the villages where there's cool activities 😎

[@d4rln_snstr534]

Yoo I've been in Lebanon for majority of my life and I also couldn't recognize the roads because Im from the South😭 I saw a comment say that he was in Ashrafiyeh! It's like more than 2 hours away from where I live

[@darknessmaster9241]

Yeah like an inflation of x70 on the price of our poor money. Snips are fire true. But man.....he was literaly walking in the front of the ABC Beirut, not way you didn't recognize it

[@Sacred_Samurai]

@darknessmaster9241 I don't go to Beirut often because almost all the time I'm at Sfer :/ Also, was that Beirut mall? Or ABC Verdain?

- The power cuts exist due to the emergence of generator providers since the civil war, government giving 24/7 electricity would cause generator providers to go out of business - Using a credit card is fine, I’ve got one which supports both USD and LBP and I never touch the LBP and most things are priced in USD - The area you’re in is a Christian majority area, about clothing we’re up to date with fashion trends, people wearing Golden Goose or Jordans, no traditional arabic clothing

[@user-bv5qx4ee2r]

Hey, been living in Lebanon for nearly my entire life. It’s pretty neat here, sort of. Lebanese never followed the traffic rules, and the first time I ever saw a police do their job was when my school bus had to drop off a kid in my entire life time. My mother’s working really hard since my dad is retired, and she can’t take a break even if her ankle is sprained badly because we wouldn’t be living under a rood otherwise or finacially support our other relatives. Note, I don’t think there is a time traffic rules were regarded since my sister’s a toddler (2006), but I’m just guessing. Also, 7:45, damn, I think you walking through where we used to live, man (Not sure if I am allowed to say the location, but Arscherafieh). 9:00, omfg, that’s my old area. I recognise a couple of men and a lady there. Lmfao You should visit Dora or Bourjhamoud, it’s chaotic in here.
