Expecting some elections billboards? Sorry to disappoint you, today I’m sharing with you 2 photos I have taken in downtown Beirut showing Virgin and UFA buildings in the martyr’s square.
Eikhir injeizeiteh!
Here are 3 new photos I’ve taken lately in Beirut, the first one was taken in the Saint Georges at night, the second is obviosly at Manara during sunset, and the last one was taken at a place called “Graffiti” in Makdissi street (Hamra). (Click on the thumbnails to enlarge)
Last Sunday I thought of taking advantage of the nice weather and go shooting some sunset photos at Ain El-Mrayseh, but the outcome turned out far away from what I had in mind.
For some reason, every single Beiruti has apparently chosen to go have a ride on the corniche, so I ended up getting stuck in a traffic jam for more than 30 minutes… and you think it was boring? Hell no! It was not!
Next time you get stuck there like me, try to look for the clowns who drive their cars with their feet. YES WITH THEIR FEET!

So, this guy decided to stand up like a monkey on the driver’s seat, in the middle of the road, and control the steering wheel with his feet, without forgetting to raise the radio volume to the max while listening to Goerge Wassouf (you thought he was listening to Nostalgie? you silly..!)
And it looks like being cool these days is associated with getting out of the car window when you’re going for a ride on the corniche! Then you’ll get to open your mouth to the air and literally “teikol hawa” like our 2 friends below.
Conclusion:
Ain El-Mrayseh + Sunday Afternoon = Bad Idea. New York (aka Hamra) could have been a much better option.
Once again this year, K-Lynn Lingerie hosted the Ski & Fashion Festival at the Faraya Mzaar ski resort displaying the latest lingerie creations, with of course the hottest models in Lebanon!
Here are some photos from the event. No need the make the post longer and keep on writing, eh?

As I was walking in Hamra on Saturday, I encountered a group of guys at the end of the Hamra street doing graffiti.
I had a small chit-chat with them and learned that they call themselves “the REK crew” (Red Eye Kamikazes), as they said they have been doing graffiti in the same spot for several Saturday and they will be there this week.
I found a couple of groups for them on Facebook, the first is Bombing Beirut ( bombing is just another term for doing graffiti), and the second is REVO Graffiti Crew.
I of course didn’t leave the spot without taking some photos! (Click on the thumbnails to enlarge)
I took this photo last night in Ain El-Mrayseh, what do you think?
I was driving near Concord (Verdun) around midnight on the second day of Eid when I was surprised to see the minister Ziad Baroud helping the internal security forces at one of their checkpoints! I quickly grabbed the camera and took this photo.
It’s good to know there are still some humble people out there…
I took this photo 2 days ago from my balcony, the moonlight was looking nice. The area showing is Ras El Nabeh.

Have you noticed this laser light over Beirut recently?

This light originates from Moahammad Al Amine mosque in downtown Beirut. I assume it points to the Kaabah (located in Mecca KSA) that muslims face during their prayer no matter where they are on earth.

Graffiti by Rami Al Moallem and Ptra.
Photography by Fadi Nammour.
UPDATE: The graffiti says “مدمن بس مش مجرم” (Drug addict but not a criminal)
