It’s the time for my weekly recommendations from Lebtivity. Several interesting events are happening this week but I’m mostly excited for the theater play “Venus. Not just because the superficial in me thinks Rita Hayek is so hot, but also because I watched “Ka3eb 3aleh” last year and really loved her performance on stage.

  1. VENUS – Starring Rita Hayek & Badih Abou Chakra; Directed by Jacques Maroun – Theatre Play
  2. Radio & Television Media Training with Maguy Farah
  3. Happiness Conference – 1st of its kind in Beirut
  4. In Shape 2015 – Health, Beauty & Fitness Fair

Giveaway – Weekend stay for two at Pinea Campus

By on July 15, 2013 in Lebanon

Pinea Campus (5)

Pinea Campus is one of the few campsites I know about in Lebanon. The place is located in Haitoura, Jezzine and spreads on a 3,000 sqm land that is surrounded by a large stone pines forest.

Pinea Campus can currently accommodate more than 50 campers throughout the summers in high quality waterproof tents that can fit 2 to 8 people each, which is pretty suitable in my opinions for couples, families and even group of friends. The amenities also include camping mattresses, covers and pillows, toilets, and showers.

Pinea Campus (3) Pinea Campus (2)

Aside from camping, several outdoor activities are available such as ATV rides, trap shooting (tiro), biking, and hiking. Moreover, you can enjoy a BBQ for lunch every Sunday.

For more information about the tent rental and activities fees, make sure to check their website here. (Specifically the “Camping” and “Activities” pages)

Pinea Campus (4)

Now if you’re already tempted to spend a weekend getaway there, the great people at Pinea Campus are offering a camping stay for two including the tent rental and breakfast for free. To get it, just leave a comment on this post and I’ll be randomly choosing a winner by Thursday night.

Update:

Youmna, you’ve got mail. 🙂 Mabrouk!

Maura Connelly’s bodyguards harass two women in Hamra

By on February 18, 2013 in Lebanon

Maura Connelly

Is the U.S. ambassador to Lebanon Maura Connelly now determined on creating a mess every time she goes out on weekends?

First her convoy drove over some ancient ruins in Tyre and damaged a stone wall two weeks ago, and just yesterday, her bodyguards harassed Lebanese actress Yara Abou Haidar and one of her Egyptian friends at Dar Bistro in Hamra where Connelly was having a coffee. You can read all about the incident in this article by Al-Akhbar.

Best way to end the weekend

By on January 22, 2012 in Reviews

Is it just me or does anyone else get bummed out on Sunday night? I mean who really looks forward for Mondays?

Anyway, I guess I’ve discovered one of the best ways to end you’re weekend in Beirut. Go to Balthazar in Beirut Souks on a Sunday night, and order the Pain Perdu for two with a cup of hot chocolate. They’re both heavenly good, the Pain Perdu is seriously one of the best in town and comes with caramel sauce, while the hot chocolate is thick and creamy.

Many thanks to A. & S. for the recommendation!
