I found about Lebtivity through a tweet by @CarlaEid. The website is a social calendar for events around Lebanon with a very user friendly interface allowing to search for events by date and category, and it already have dozens of events for you to plan the summer season!
In addition, Lebtivity helps events organizers promote and manage their events through easy to use tools and for free. Make sure to check it out here.
You can shower me with your comments about the lady in niqab being free to celebrate and dance the way she pleases at the beginning of this video, but I’ll still find her funny!
Update:
It turned out the woman is actually mentally challenged. My cousin who lives in Tripoli confirmed it to me and claimed she’s from an area there called “Abou Samra”. You can also read Azmi’s input on the matter in the comments section.
George Michael must be deeply in love with his Lebanese boyfriend Fadi Fawaz to follow him to Beirut at such time! According to The Daily Star, the two were spotted at Iris rooftop bar and later at White nightclub over the weekend.
Speaking to The Daily Star Monday, Jessica Bou-Abdou, marketing and PR Manager at Add Mind, a Public Relations company specializing in the food, beverage and hospitality industry, said Michael arrived at the Iris rooftop terrace at the An-Nahar building in Martyr’s Square, Beirut, for sunset where he enjoyed a couple of the swanky Restaurant-Bar’s signature cocktails.
Later in the evening, Michael was seen at exclusive night-spot White, near City Mall in Dora where he joined fellow revelers until sunrise. Source

According to this article, Tannoura Maxi has joined the list of banned movies from Lebanese cinemas after the Catholic Information Center requested the General Security to pull the movie from theaters.
I heard so much about the movie being lame and disrespecting to Christianity, but then again didn’t Nadine Labaki show goats inside a mosque in her latest movie “W Halla’ Lawein“? Why can’t the General Security in Lebanon set a standard once and for all and apply it to all movies? And how effective is the ban anyway when you know beforehand that the movie is going to hit DVD stores whether you like it or not?
Anyway, I just feel sorry for Joe Bou Eid because it was pretty obvious that he was spending lot of money on promoting his movie.
It looks much more beautiful to me than Beirut nowadays…
For the first time in its history, 610 young girls made their way into the Internal Security Forces after announcing its will to recruit female volunteers earlier.
The video below shows the result of a 2 months training that 200 girls have received, and as you can see many of them are quite good looking! Getting arrested now seems like a pretty cool idea eh?!
On a serious note, I totally respect these women and believe that they’re much needed in our country.
Never thought this would be discussed on the news!

What a shame! This scumbag deserves to be chased by a tank that runs over his body a thousand time!
Thank you @jeanassy
Have you been keeping track of the protests being called for lately? Insane, it’s like the country is all “3ayif 7alo” these days!
Jal el-Dib residents resume protests over lack of traffic alternative
EDL workers hold protest in Beirut
Nurses warn of escalation if demands unmet
Lebanon public transport workers hold strike
Bakers still threatening strike unless prices cut
Protesting teachers scuffle with police at Grand Serail
And last but not least, the mother of all protests in Tripoli that has been turning the city into a mess since Saturday.
These people found the ultimate solution to traffic jam in Lebanon, set up an Arguileh and share it with people around while stuck on the highway. Better yet, want to avoid fights during the wait? Add some Bekaai made “tobacco” to it!
Thank you @krikOrianm
