Quick Visit: Beirut

Im off to Beirut for a very quick visit with my parents.

I’v never been to it before, its my 1st time being over there. Funny how you’v been all over the world and never been to a country so close.

Anyway, RECOMMEND SOMETHING/SOMEWHERE/SOMEONE for me there. Im a morning person. I sleep early, so be kind with your recommendations :P

p.s: I’ll be updating from the land of “Snoobar” & wonderful people ;D

ABC go just if you wana see it and eat lunch over there .. check the mountin and visit choclate factory in zahla and bring back boxes for every body here to last for a year :P ….. la eta3eb ro7ek etro7 el7amra its like soag elsalmiya elqadeem .. night life is wonderfull but you need to go crazy with friends its no fun alone
    ok this lady driver you can rent her car per day i think she takes 100 or 150 US Dollar per day she drives you every where and she also knows places q80ies like this is her number if you are calling from local lebanese phone put a zero infront of the 3 her number is : 00961-3771811 her name is en6owanait .. she is a sweet heart . and her familly needs the business for school fees . you’ll have fun and help . by the way when you call tell her that Dalal al flany :P gave you the number because she is a family friend . ENJOY !
