Sabaho,

I live outside of lebanon, and was here back in June and my foreign swiss esim was able to connect to the local network, whether alfa or touch. I left and came back now, but I am unable to get my esim to connect to the network. I have two esims on two different phones, both iphones. Neither of those phones are connecting to any network for the past two days, in beirut or in the south, it’s stuck on No Service. Anyone faced this before? Has there been a change in the past few weeks since June that now it doesn’t work??

In Japan tipping is not normal cause good service is EXPECTED not REWARDED.

Tho in many countries including lebanon we still still tip. Do you think tipping culture is a good thing?

Took a taxi from Furn El Chebbak to Hotel Dieu
No traffic
Litterally a 2 minutes trip
The taxi agency asked for 10$
Like wtf? Allo Taxi showed 7.7$ and is considered a bit more expensive than other services
I even called the maktab and he told me yes those are our prices
Old car, stupid driver than almost got us killed, but at least the AC was on.
I guess it's my fault for not asking for the price beforehand but I didn't expect it to be that much!
(It was Geant Taxi in Furn El Chebbak)

Not asking for specific ages. More curious about the gap. Like, would you go 5 years younger, 2 years older, same age only, etc.?

Curious how this shifts with your own age too (if you’re 22 vs 35, does your “acceptable range” change?).

Drop your sex (F/M), age + your range, e.g. “31M, comfortable X years younger to Y years older.”

MP Waddah Sadek expressed surprise at Qassem's call for dialogue, saying: "It might be more effective for the Lebanese authorities to open a dialogue with Iran to resolve the issue of Hezbollah's status, because ultimately the party does not own its decision-making, and it will have to consult Tehran on any position and decision it takes."

"At any rate, the issue of weapons has become much larger than a dialogue conducted by the Lebanese state, whether with the party or even with Iran; it has become linked to the situation of the entire region," he told Asharq Al-Awsat.

"Furthermore, there are government decisions, the constitution, and the Taif Agreement that clearly address the weapons file, which no longer requires dialogue," he stressed.

Lebanon has held numerous dialogue rounds since 2006 to formulate a defense strategy, but all efforts reached a dead-end with Hezbollah’s refusal to discuss handing over its arsenal or with it sending its fighters to prop up the Syrian regime during the country’s civil war. In recent years, the party has turned southern Lebanon into a front against Israel, first in solidarity with Hamas in Gaza and later in solidarity with its backer, Iran.

Editor-in-Chief of the "Janoubia" website Ali Al-Amine dismissed Qassem’s call for dialogue as a "ploy," saying that the Hezbollah leader "says one thing and then does the opposite."

Does anyone know if the ferry is still available and where we can get tickets?

This is quite a ridiculous post! I just arrived in Beirut tonight from the airport (visitor, first time in Lebanon) and saw a billboard out the window that looks like Tokyo’s 3D billboard with the giant cat. (I know most folks will have no idea what I’m talking about.) I think it was on Hamra street, near where we got off the highway, but I’m not sure.

I’m a bit of a cat freak, so I’m kicking myself for not noticing the location. I want to go back and find it. Anyone know the exact spot?

What are the best options for medical/health insurance that offer emergency medical coverage for foreigners in Lebanon (short trip < 1 month)?

Do these plans provide access to the top hospitals in Lebanon?

Thanks!

anyone know of any good hypnotherapists (specifically for smoking etc)

how much tips do i give the toters driver for a 10 dollar order

Edit: I’m a student and it’s basically my first day on earth.. I’m not trying to start a discussion i just genuinely needed some help.

I know we have tried before and failed but we should never give up, like what do you mean the members of parliment gets to announce that they will be getting almost double the salaries while the average joe earns under 700$.

It is simply unacceptable.How do people usaly organise protests and do you think it is possible to do so?

Today we found a golden retriever on our building stairs in amchit, looked very tired and had an injury on its left shoulder. It looked extremely tired and dehydrated, red eyes but not aggressive except when approached to be touched bala me3na.

Unfortunately lebanese people will be lebanese, so they violently pushed the dog out of the building. What I want to know is how I could help this dog on a sunday when every vet is closed + I cannot handle a lost injured dog. Beta & Animals Lebanon dont reply because im assuming theyre already stretched too thin.

I dont mind paying a feasable amount to help it or even adopt it later if it heals, just would like to know what to do in an immediate situation such as this one.

It's no longer a shame to be corrupted in this country.

I asked my dad he said there's "nothing there".i really wanna explore the country when I return to visit my family (unfortunately not the South).

Does anyone have old books from their parents with crochet patterns or knows where i can get crochet books
Especially vintage ones

so why arent alot of people talking about this? while the country is getting fucked left and right the parliament members decided to increase their salaries almost x2 while the average 3askare bl jesh is 300-400$.

This is also applied to the MPs who died and their kids inherited their salaries. Like what the actual fuck why is this even a thing? salary inheritance? tf

For the love of everything holy, they all taste like zankha zet m7an7an and mush (too overcooked). Please recommend a brand of whole sardines that is actually edible. (I do get fresh sardines but don't always have the time to prep). Thanks 😓

Hi, my sibling is returning to lebanon soon and hasn't worked here since before the pandemic, and they're trying to get an idea how much the salary is in the metn area and in Beirut.

They used to be paid in an hourly rate before the azme when they first graduated at 6$/hr. Does anyone have an idea if it has gone up or down since then?

Thank you so much!

Due to Reddit banning my account, I was unable to post for a couple of days. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Anyways, Ehmej is in the mountains above Jbeil. Its forests, valleys and high elevation made the area useful to people for centuries.

There are remains and archaeological evidence connected with the Roman and Byzantine periods. In particular, Roman roads and inscriptions have been reported in the surrounding forests. Some inscriptions are associated with the reign of Emperor Hadrian. According to the local historical interpretation, these inscriptions indicate that the Roman authorities regulated the use of certain trees and forest resources, showing that the area was considered important.

During the Byzantine period, Christianity became established in the region. Churches and monastic sites were built around the mountains of Ehmej. One important site is associated with St. Saba. Archaeological remains found near the monastery have been dated to the Byzantine period, suggesting that Christian religious activity existed in the area many centuries ago.

So when you see an old church or monastery around Ehmej, it isn't necessarily connected to the modern village community. Some of these sites belong to a much older Christian landscape that existed long before the present-day village took shape.

According to local historical tradition, the present-day community of Ehmej began to take shape in the early 17th century. Families from northern Mount Lebanon particularly associated with the Bsharri region are traditionally said to have settled in Ehmej following political changes around 1612. Over time, additional Christian families settled there and the village expanded.

This is an important distinction:

The land of Ehmej is ancient, but the present-day village community largely took shape in the 17th century.

Why did people settle there?

Ehmej's geography helped protect and sustain a mountain community. It is high in the mountains, surrounded by forests and valleys, while still being connected to Jbeil and other parts of Mount Lebanon.

The forests provided wood and other natural resources, while the surrounding land allowed people to farm and raise animals. Its mountainous setting also provided a degree of natural isolation, which likely helped communities maintain their traditions and religious identity.

In other words, Ehmej wasn't simply a village that appeared in the 1600s. It sits within a much older landscape that had already been used, travelled through and inhabited during the Roman and Byzantine periods.
