Beirut Lebanon is a Huge Culture Shock for Me | Lebanon 2024

I am from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and since I was young I always wanted to visit Lebanon but I never had the chance to explore their rich culture and beautiful country. Throughout this life, I’ve discovered that the people of Lebanon are one of the purest people on this planet and they are the reason why Lebanon is great and I wish nothing but the best to every Lebanese person and I pray to god that they will always be safe and sound.. Long live Lebanon 🇱🇧🤍.

I was the person you spoke to when you were getting your number, glad you had a nice trip ❤

Hi, an older lady from Saudi Arabia here, when I was growing up my dad used to get me children’s books from Lebanon; I grew up watching enchanting Lebanese shows in Classical Arabic. Those were the times when the Lebanese seemed to be really feisty and comfortable in their own skin. Lebanon went through a lot and I guess that’s what lies behind this strong desire for white-passing. Some Lebanese intellectuals would roll in their graves if they heard how some Lebanese now think of “Arab” as a race. Lebanon used to be much more than breathtaking scenery, delectable cuisine, and lively nightlife; it used to be a prominent source of intellect in the Arab world; it gave the Arab world some of the best poets, writers, thinkers, journalists and the list goes on (not past-dwelling but a bit of historical background is necessary to fully appreciate the present). Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog. Best regards.

I’m Greek and visited Beirut for one week last spring for the first time. In Greece we say that Beirut is the Paris of the Middle East. Amazing culture, food and people, great nightlife very similar to my country. I felt very safe walking around. I loved this country and it’s truly a shame that politics are destroying it. I wish for the people of Lebanon to overcome this terrible situation because their country is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever visited.

I visited Lebanon for the first time about nine years ago and we simply fell in love with the beautiful and breathtaking landscape of the country, the culture and their millennial civilization. After all, the mighty Phoenicians gave us the Alphabet ( from the ancient city of Byblos north of Beirut) and Princess Europa was a Phoenician born in the magnificent Phoenician city of Tyre. In other words the very name of my continent comes from Modern day Lebanon. I’m Norwegian and partly Greek from my maternal grandma who feels close affinity with the Lebanese and their magnificent culture and gastronomy. Greetings from Oslo!

I am Lebanese, we had a shoe factory in Bourj Hammoud, economy collapsed and we had to close. I live in Marseille now and I visit my country whenever I can 🥰. Your most welcome whenever you can.

Bro, let me tell you, as a Lebanese (albeit an expat), you absolutely nailed every single thing you said absolutely perfectly. Great job!!

As a Lebanese living abroad, I should say that this is the most informative and interesting video succinctly delivered about Lebanon that I have seen for a long time.

As a Lebanese living abroad welcome to my beloved country Lebanon ❤

I like seeing foreigners analyzes our country. Great job, you should visit again in the summer!

I lived in Lebanon during the 'golden era' for 3yrs. I have a soft spot in my heart for this country Amazing culture and amazing people which has been destroyed by politics. And. As you mentioned misunderstood. y

As a Lebanese it's pretty much accurate, hope you enjoyed it

Very objective, being a Lebanese american, what you said was 100% true, and your video is great, love it. thank you for your visit, and hopefully next time you'll have local company, so you can see another good side of Lebanon. (Food, hospitality, scenery)

My fiance is Lebanese and lives in Beirut. Many homes in Beirut have solar panels so they don't deal with electric grid issues like others in Beirut. He's also a devoted Christian, and official government numbers are 38% Christians and 60% Muslim. The Christian demographic use to be the majority but bc of displacement due to warfare, many made an exodus to resettle elsewhere in the world. The Muslim percentage dramatically increased due to birth rates + influx of Muslim refugees from neighboring countries. Lebanese disapora is nearly three times Lebanon's population.

yeah. unfortunately , for ages. "the powerful media" distorts the image of countries they don't like . Lebanon is a beautiful country, and was even more so before the civil war in the 70ies. since that time it's been going through some turmoil and still to date. thanks for sharing your experience and visit with us.

Fun video! Loved your vibe!! BRAVO!!

You're consistent and non intrusive. Salute.
