Video of The Jounieh Fireworks Show Last Night

By Rami on July 3, 2015 in Lebanon

Jounieh International Festival took off last night with a 7 minute synchronized fireworks show along the coast. Not much people have yet shared the videos they took so here’s one from MTV Lebanon.

I don’t want to sound like a party pooper as I know many people found the show to be pretty cool, but I personally can’t but say it was no more than a repetition from the last two years. I mean I totally salute the municipality of Jounieh for their efforts, but I don’t think they’re being super creative with the awesome bay they have. I bet much more can be done along the coast especially that Dubai always manages to amaze the world with their yearly show and they only use one Burj Khalifa to do it.

The 2015 New Year Fireworks Show in Dubai

By Rami on January 1, 2015 in Random

I wish this was about some cool fireworks show in Beirut, but it was the same boring scene here with stupid people firing rounds of bullets at midnight.

On the other hand, Dubai dazzled the world once more with amazing fireworks that lit up Burj Khalifa. And while they’re at it, they broke a Guinness world record by covering the tower with the largest LED display consisting of 70,000 LED bulbs.

You can also watch a behind the scenes video here on how EMAAR made it all happen.

New Year celebrations around the world

By Rami on January 1, 2014 in Random

While most of the world cities celebrated New Year with some spectacular fireworks display, Dubai chose take it a bit further this year and succeeded in breaking the world record for the largest fireworks display. They crushed the record previously set by Kuwait by firing more than 400,000 shots in around six minutes!

Meanwhile in Lebanon, assassinations right before the new year’s eve, explosions everywhere in the country, stupid clashes every now and then, and of course, douchebags here can’t but celebrate with firearms. Yet, we’re excellent at pulling jokes at the Khaleejis. OK.

Anyway, make sure to check this article on BuzzFeed for a glimpse of how the rest of the world celebrated last night.

Insane fireworks

Check out how bad fireworks can be in some areas in Lebanon on holidays. The video below was taken in Bchamoun on the first day of Eid El-Adha.

Unfortunately, the ministry of interior issues a reminder every few years that fireworks are strictly banned but never puts an effort to actually apply that ban!

Here are three of the last photos I took in the summer.

As you may know, summer is the weddings season in Lebanon, and so the two first photos are from a wedding a week ago.

This one was taken early in July from a building in the Sayfi area.
