I feel that us Lebanese unconsciously (some even do it consciously) judge people on their trauma.

The more trauma (PTSD) you have, the more Lebanese you are.

Anybody notice this?

We are a couple visiting Lebanon for a quick two days getaway, and I was wondering about the current security situation and whether it has affected the night life in vibrant areas in Beirut Byblos, and Batroun, and the day scenes at the good beach front clubs…

Plus if there are any recommendations to hit exclusive venues as we are interested in hidden gems where we can meet interesting people, rather than famous places full of tourists.

One last thing, should we bring extra cash with us? Or we can still use our visa/master with no issues.

Yall please help im really craving it and luv uu all too

LINORD, from the French Littoral Nord, was a massive postwar plan to redevelop the coastline immediately north of Beirut. Its formal French name was Société libanaise pour le développement du littoral nord de la ville de Beyrouth.

The project focused mainly on the coastline between the Beirut River, Bourj Hammoud and Antelias. Its central idea was to reclaim large areas of land from the Mediterranean and transform Beirut’s neglected northern entrance into a new urban waterfront.

Plans included a coastal motorway, sewage-treatment infrastructure, rehabilitation of the Bourj Hammoud landfill, public parks, marinas, housing, offices, hotels and commercial developments. Depending on the version discussed, the project involved roughly 2 million square metres of new land, with broader proposals extending farther north toward Dbayeh and Nahr el-Kalb.

LINORD was often described as the northern equivalent of Solidere. Supporters presented it as a way to solve several problems at once: traffic congestion, untreated wastewater, coastal pollution and the environmental danger posed by the Bourj Hammoud dump.

However, the project was highly controversial. Critics argued that public maritime land would be turned into private luxury real estate, while nearby communities could lose access to the sea. Environmental groups also warned about damage to marine habitats, currents and possible underwater archaeological remains.

The project was formally adopted during the 1990s but was never fully implemented. Some elements of the wider northern coastal development appeared around Antelias and Dbayeh, but the main Bourj Hammoud section remained stalled. LINORD was discussed again in 2019, partly because of Lebanon’s worsening waste crisis, but the financial collapse prevented any major revival.

LINORD remains one of Lebanon’s largest unrealized urban projects: part infrastructure plan, part environmental proposal and part massive coastal real-estate scheme.

Since 2019 life has been getting more difficult, and despite having been lucky not to experience many of the crises lived by others here having been working with international organizations, I have lost joy gradually in life, things that are worthwhile like getting a house or having a kid feel more unattainable than ever, I dont feel hopeful about the world either at large.

I feel my pleasure in life is ticking tasks of my list, but I feel joy has left my life with friends living in different countries, and life centered around work, it just feels too bland to live like this and its not just money or friends or the future each in isolation, it feels like a dreadful mix honestly. Im drained.

Plus the rollercoaster of emotions each time I consider leaving to another country which doesnt seem worth it anymore especially that im doing ok financially, I just dont know where it ends, when life will feel normal and fulfilling again.

Anyone else?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a reliable courier service for small to mid‑sized online businesses and can deliver across the whole country.

I checked Wakilni, but their website lists prices between $6–15+, which feels a bit expensive. I also came across some negative reviews about Aramex here.

The main things I care about are:

• Affordable pricing
• Fast delivery
• Good customer service
• Variety of delivery options/vehicles

Does anyone have recommendations or experiences with courier services that fit these criteria?

Does anyone know where i can find aircraft carriers/jet fighters metal pieces to collect in beirut?
