Im a Beiruti myself, Born and raised, lived for 30 years there, i have to say its the biggest regret of my life that i didnt move out earlier, im now living in Europe and i gotta say the crapiest city here is a million times better than Beirut

[@asmalaysi9687]

@johnkilljoy6211 funny thing I just finished watching a video of a British travel vlogger with a 1.5 million followers expressing his happiness for moving and settling in beirut 😁

I was there two months ago and hiking through the Lebanese mountains is the best thing you can experience in your life.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Ah, the Lebanese Civil War-a classic case of "let's take a beautifully diverse country and turn it into a blender with a faulty top." Lasting from 1975 to 1990, this multifaceted conflict resembled a soap opera with far too many plot twists and not enough commercial breaks. Here are some snappy reasons why this drama unfolded: **Sectarian Tensions:** Lebanon is like a punch bowl filled with different flavored jello-Christians, Muslims, and Druze, all jiggling around in a precarious power-sharing setup from the National Pact of 1943. But as demographics started to shift, it became the ultimate game of musical chairs, and let’s just say, some groups ended up with a whole lot of empty chairs. **Economic Disparities:** If you thought wealth inequality was a modern issue, think again! Picture this: while certain groups were living it up in fancy neighborhoods, poorer Muslim communities were left watching reruns of the "Haves and Have Nots." It turns out economic envy is not just a plot device-it’s a recipe for conflict. **Palestinian Presence:** Adding to the drama, the arrival of Palestinian refugees post-1967 turned the plot from a gentle rom-com into an intense thriller. Suddenly, armed Palestinian groups were rewriting the script, leading to even more instability-who knew a demographic influx could come with such high stakes? **Regional Influences:** Meanwhile, the neighborhood bullies-Syria, Israel, and Iran-decided to pick sides, all too eager to add their own flavor to the chaos stew. Their meddling not only deepened the conflict but also made the prospect of peace feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack-except the haystack is on fire. **Political Failures:** Throughout all this drama, Lebanon’s traditional political structures crumbled like a stale cookie. The government couldn’t keep up with the growing sectarian squabbles, paving the way for militias to emerge like uninvited guests at a party that’s spiraled out of control. Oh, how I wish they could have taken a collective deep breath, cracked a few jokes, and put their past behind them. Perhaps a little less bickering and a bit more bonding over mezzes would have served them better? After all, nothing says “Let’s make peace” like sharing a plate of hummus!

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Many Lebanese people identify with their Phoenician heritage as a way to connect with an ancient civilization that is part of their historical and cultural identity. The Phoenicians were a Semitic-speaking people who inhabited the coastal regions of modern-day Lebanon, as well as parts of Syria and Israel, from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. They are renowned for their maritime trading culture, the development of the alphabet, and contributions to the spread of civilization throughout the Mediterranean. The association with Phoenician identity has gained prominence in Lebanon, particularly in the 20th century, as part of a broader effort to assert a distinct cultural identity amid various regional and political dynamics. Some Lebanese people view this connection as a way to highlight their historical continuity and unique contributions to history and culture, especially in contrast to Arab nationalism. However, it's important to note that views on identity can vary among the Lebanese population. Some may embrace a Phoenician identity, while others may align more closely with an Arab or Lebanese identity, reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage and the complexity of its history.

Lebanon is a beautiful country of beautiful and resilient people. Beirut should have been one of top 3 tourism destinations of the world but it is not mainly because of poor governance, factional conflicts and bad media coverage. Undoubtedly, they have the best food and sweets. I have been to many many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America but Beirut has a special place in my heart. Lots of love from Islamabad, Pakistan.

[@NomacGuides]

Indeed, Lebanon is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to!! Exploring and experiencing a country is the only way to find out its beauty and true colors!!

[@liquiddream]

top 3? 😂

[@aag3752]

Certainly. And speaking of beautiful people lol, we have a bunch of different looks too. Many of us are tan, many fair. Many even with blonde hair and colored eyes. It's a very nice mix. I know I'd be biased, but I think we're among the best looking people in the world. Anyway, love back to you guys in Pakistan.

My Dad took my Mom back in the 60's. His Father was born in Souk el Gharb. We still have relatives in Lebanon. Our cousins took them to see where his Father was born and my Mom rode a donkey across a stone bridge where Jesus was said to have crossed. I Googled and read where the famous Cedars of Lebanon are mentioned over 130 times in the Bible. They ate traditional Lebanese food which my Grandmother cooked for us in America. They thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Sadly it is too chancy to visit as you never know when something is going to go down. Perhaps one Day I will get to visit. ☺️🎄💙

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

The growth of mafia-like groups in Lebanon and the absence of good role models for certain individuals can be traced back to complex and overlapping issues involving historical trauma, economic despair, institutional failure, social norms, and family dynamics. Addressing these deep-rooted issues requires comprehensive social, economic, and political reforms aimed at restoring trust, providing economic opportunities, and fostering healthy communities.

Beirut is a big city but the locals will always help you out same with the rest of Lebanon. You don’t really need a tour with you because any where you get lost ask a local and they will help you out. Beirut, Jounieh, Batroun, Khalde, Sidon/Saida, Tyre/Sour, Zahle, Tripoli, Baalbek, Jbeil/Byblos, Zgharta, Jeita grotto, nabatiya and bint jbeil if you risk going to the Israeli border are all amazing places to visit in Lebanon and many more places. It’s your choice if you want a tour guide or not. Hopefully you go to Lebanon the bride of the middle east

[@eliassalloum9441]

First part. Briefing on the origin of the name Lebanon through history and in the writings of other: Homer's Iliad and Odyssey (8th century BC), about events that would occured in the third millennium BC, was first book written in Europe. Andronicus the Roman who translated Homer's work into Latin in the second century BC, provided the following interpretations: Anatoli, which means East/Orient in old Greek, becomes Levante and Hellas is nicknamed Grecia/Greece. Joshua, author of Deuteronomy in 637 BC, used the nickname Levan. meaning white in Hebrew, to describe a country with two-capped mountain ranges, one facing the west and the other making natural rampart toward the East (Syria of Mesopotamia), between which is the fertile plain of Bekaa (called yaa in the Egyptian's tell of the courtier Sinouhe at the XVIII century BC). The story of Gilgamesh XVII century BBC quotes Laban what yogurt would mean. In reality the historians of antiquity will describe the events which took place in the cities of Phoenicia of the historic Levante: Ugarit, Arwad, Byblos/Guebal, Botris/Batroun, Berytus/Beirut, Tyros/Sor which means rock in Phoenician, Sidon/Sidonian Women's skills, Phoenician ships in Iliad and Odysseus, as well as "The Phoenician Women" by Euripides fourth century BC. Please check Letters of Tel-Al-Amarna/Memphis which is about correspondence dating from the fifteenth century BC between the Phoenician kings threatened by the Hittites begging for help from the Pharaoh of Egypt who did not took any action because he himself, Akhenaton iconoclast, was in conflict with the clergy. During the height of Hellenism, Philo of Byblos 50 BC claimed to have translated Sanchouniathon/godgiven, priest of Beirut or Tyrian, is author in the 14th century BC (neither after the Trojan War nor before the reign of Semiramis) fron an encyclopedia into seven volumes of "The History of the Phoenicians), adding one, accusing the others of "distorsion of the history of Lebanon". Additionally please read "Histoire Generale" three volumes by Polybius third century BC. You will learn how the heirs of Alexander the Great will compete for Phoenicia of Lebanon, Cyprus, the Land of the Hebrews and the Palestinians. Seleukus, who inherits upper Mesopotamia founded a city and kingdom of Seleucia wants to take Phoenicia. Ptolemeaus inherits Egypt. The former companions call for arms...Their descendants too: Ptolemy junior must face Antiochus the third who founded the Kingdom of Syria and Seleucia will be called Antioch. The decisive battle will take place at Rafah (border between future Palestine and Egypt) the Egyptian is victorious. Polybius historian and geographer write further that the inhabitants of Phoenicia dancing for joy. We are at the end of the second century BC, the Romans will give the final blow to Antiochus, who in defiance of the treaties, makes a descent in Europe, i.e. into the north of Greece. In the year 1516 Selim the conqueror Sultan of the Ottomans proclaimed Great Lebanon ruled by a Mir of the Druze dynasty Maani. Syria was placed under the suzerainty of Greater Lebanon until 1866. Faced with a new attempt of independence from the Mir of Lebanon Bshir two the Great who marched in the ranks of the Egyptian Ibrahim Pacha leading a succesfully military campaign against the Turks. The English intervene militarily to stop the Egyptian advance saving from collapse the Ottoman empire. Whereupon the Turks put an End to the status of Great Lebanon proclaiming in 1866 Great Syria. After WWI, France reinvested GRAND LIBAN whats going on displease the Turks and governors of Syria, who whatever there religion want to annex Lebanon using all means to achieve this objective, recently civil wars (1860, 1956, 1975 to 1991 under the " diktat of Taef " signed 1988 gaining the complicity of the "secrets societies" of local scene and from West in particular (USA, Germany, United Kingdom, Turkey and Arabs Sunni financiers) for which so-called welcome refugees, approximately three millions Syrians. Moreover falsify of the History of Lebanon victim of genocide. the demography is transformed into "Phagocytocratie". Phonetic and names of neighborhoods are changing to be identical with syrians and arabs localties. For example please do not say DORA or BEDA, say DAWRA, BAYDA, ...SAINT GEORGES not "ZETOUNA baie" etc. Never Lebanon was french colony. Upon a time, the Christian majority was forced to defend land and water by waging war alongside the French Crusaders to get rid of the fanatical Arabs and Saracens from Turkey. Nowadays the wheel has turned, the Turks say that France was a colonial power, even thought it was the Turks who colonized us for four hundred years. France brought culture and knowledge as our Phoenician ancestors did to Europeans. BON COURAGE

The church next door to the mosque is a much older and more beautiful building. The mosque is about a decade old. The church is much much older. I can understand why it gets ignored - the placement of the mosque is an aggressive act.

1. Dont go cliff diving (explanation at 2 likes) EDIT: Tysm for 2 likes, So basically in like 2002 in beiturt lebanon, 2 guys were diving from a famous sidewalk into the ocean. The first guy does it well. But the second trips and hits his head really hard on the dock. Then we can see him floating in the water with blood coming out everywhere. Cut forward to 10 seconds there is blood all over the ocean and lifeguards are there. If you are brave enough to watch just type “diving split face” it is the one with bad quality

Beautiful city❤️ I heard local currency value has hugely dropped since 2019. When you shop/eat, do you use local currency, USD or Euro?

[@NomacGuides]

You can use Local currency or USD - if you have Euros you can exchange at Western Union OMT branches that are all over the country
