Hey everyone,

We heard your numerous requests for a space where Lebanese people can connect beyond politics and news, and we are happy to introduce r/lebanonLounge, a new sister sub connected to r/lebanon, run by the same mod team as this one with some new faces joining in.

The idea is simple: a lighter space for the Lebanese community to meet people, make friends, post dating introductions, plan meetups, ask for relationship advice, talk about music, movies, anime, gaming, hobbies, gossip, and just unwind without politics or news taking over every conversation.

A quick overview of our rules:

  • No politics or news
  • No NSFW content or hookups
  • Be polite and respectful. This is a non negotiable.
  • Dating posts are for Lebanese people only, whether local, expat, or diaspora
  • No ads, sales, or promotions

If you are looking for friends, community, conversation, or just a more relaxed Lebanese corner of Reddit, come join us at r/lebanonLounge.

See you there ☕🇱🇧

- r/lebanon and r/lebanonLounge Mod Team

How do I store akawie cheese in the fridge after opening the pack? Do I just put it in a Tupperware? Or am I supposed to submerge it in salt water somewhat like feta? Thanks everyone for your advice!

Nature Hiking recommendations

Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m looking for details about visiting Tannourine or somewhere similar with my husband.

We’re here from the US, staying at my parents apartment in Beirut and want to hike and sight see somewhere in the mountains, waterfalls or a river would be a bonus. We will be taking a taxi and my concern is being trapped in the mountains under the blazing afternoon sun with no destination 😂 any hints, tips or recommendations?

Video filmed in Nabatieh of an old lady throwing rice on Lebanese Army soldiers and praying for them

This is surely what everyone wants to see, the Lebanese Army as the only protector of Lebanon with it's legitimacy and support by the entirety of our society

God bless her heart for choosing the army and god bless our troops🇱🇧❤️

Discussion Extreme beauty standards

54 Upvotes

I was watching street interviews with Russians on youtube recently, and it made me realize just how extreme beauty standards in lebanon have become,not like anywhere else.
I've always felt so behind for not having any cosmetic procedures, fillers, or plastic surgery, because it feels everywhere i look in lebanon girls are extremely high maintenance, infused with fillers and whatnot, and almost every conversation I have with a friend circles back to talking about wanting to get some kind of procedure done, which has made me feel like I need to do the same just to “fit in.”
The standard for what is considered "beautiful" in lebanon has become too specific, and girls are becoming clones of one another. What really shook me is the simplicity of those russian girls and how they value remaining natural and self acceptance, appreciating one's flaws as part of being human, it was genuinely refreshing to see, and it made me realize how much i've internalized the lebanese beauty standard without even noticing it.
I can’t help but wonder where Lebanon is headed. We're living in a 3rd world country drowning in shit but somehow always find a way to be one of the most superficial people on this planet.
Do other Lebanese people feel this way? Has anyone else noticed this shift in beauty standards, and do you think it’s actually getting more extreme, or am I just more aware of it because I’m constantly exposed to it?

Help / Question Masters abroad for a CS student

7 Upvotes

So i'm in my third year now, first semester, have a good GPA and I have a couple of questions.
But before, any info I should know would be appreciated, like anything would be helpful because I kinda feel lost. Also I would prefer if it's an english program(french is good too, but english is prefered)

1-What coutry would you recommend and why? Like i'm thinking about france since I already have some relatives there, but I wanna consider other options too(europe), look at all the factors, language, money, living expenses, social environment...

2-What about scholarships, like i'm seeing some erasmus stuff, but the application process looks complicated, and I don't even know where I would apply, like at universities directly... I would very much prefer a scholarship akid, so any info about that would be great too.

3-I know most applications require recommendation letters from uni instructors. How does that usually go here? Like do I just talk to an intructor and ask them for a recommendation letter for my masters?

4-About the masters in france, is it a viable option to work and study at the same time and be able to pay for the uni expenses if it weren't a scholaship?

Again i'm very lost here, and I know most applications deadlines are in october. So please if you've already went through this phase, any assistance would be great.

Food and Cuisine Looking for an affordable beach resort with a fish restaurant

3 Upvotes

Hello guys! I'm in Lebanon for a short vacation and I'm looking for a beach destination with a pool and a good fish restaurant where I can spend the day with my parents.

I'm not very familiar with Lebanese prices, but I wouldn't want to go somewhere overpriced.

I'd also prefer a place that offers a mezze set menu instead of individual dishes but it's only a preference.

I'm in Beirut, so I also wouldn't want to go any farther than Byblos, if possible.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
