ya and i just got the choclate factory number from my mom your mom gona love it ,,, its rebelle choclate i dont know why ppl love it .
Mobile : +961 3 612 210/ +961 3 920 236

the driver also knows the place in zahle

By: SEEKER

SEEKER — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:35:01 +0000

every thing is mentioned above ,,but my advise dont even bother your self to go to malls but the verdun is a must other malls no .. 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 ….. 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 gave you the number because she is a family friend . ENJOY !
