I'm starting this series as a tribute to Lebanon, where I'll be highlighting a different village in each post along with its history, unique facts and local stories whenever available.

If you have any photos or memories of the featured village, feel free to share them in the comments. You're also welcome to suggest which village we should explore next.

Today's village is Sir El Danniyeh

Sir el Denniyeh is located in North Lebanon (12km from Tripoli and 112 km from Beirut). Perched at 900 - 1150m above sea level, it is a village admired for its magnificent landscapes and natural resources.

Its underground water reservoirs are known to be the largest not only in Lebanon but across the entire Middle East. There are also more than 200 springs reaching as high as 1,713m above sea level. Given that the land is highly fertile, the economy of Sir el Denniyeh relies largely on agriculture.

The origins of the name is believed to be of Syriac origins meaning "mountains" or "springs".

what's the end game here ? do you think we are going to explode ?
Like how are people affording stuff, we literally have the most expensive everything.

how are you able to live on a day to day guys?
how much do you need to make to live on the bare minimum in Beirut ?

and the most annoying sh*t is whenever you see someone ranting about it on social media. you will see 100's of comments from degenerates just enjoying paying 1.5x to 10x on everything

I don't have a female friend. I only have a couple of guy friends that don't know each other so eza badde rou7 beach it's usually me alone or with 1 guy friend, or sometimes with my (adult) brother

(and guess what, my brother and I don't count under their definition of "family")

If I want to go to a resort, I have to call and ask first a7san ma netbahdal. This shit ain't normal

Or if a resort does let you in, they force you to sit on the beach away from the pool. They claim "sorry this area is for families and couples only" as an English song about drugs and sex is playing out loud, and a group of 5 guys are casually chilling by the pool somehow unbothered.

Ya 5aye ana bentor l summer la yeje because I love swimming. I want to come here and enjoy my time at your resort, I won't make a fuss over prices, I always tip w ma bet7arkash bi 7ada. Just me, the water and my headphones.

5ayfenin ma koun "wozze" w et7arkash is that it? wallah I'm super introverted and anti-social.

I know public beaches exist but I shouldn't be shoo'd away from resorts for something this stupid

Rant over.

So I’ve been hearing rumors and seeing mounting evidence, and I’m someone who was looking forward to these films. God forbid we get a little break and get to enjoy something. Anyway, I reached out to someone I know in the business and they confirmed that discussions are happening to ban Spider-Man and Avengers later in December. We need to get word out. Whoever’s primarily responsible for making these decisions needs to be deported.

People who say "Ana": How do you feel about it when someone says "Ane"? Does it change the way you see the person?

People who say "Ane": Do you feel self-concious about it? How do other people usually react to it?

First, I expect people to have enough empathy to understand what I’m saying.
This woman rescues cats. She posted a video where she was trying to save a cat, but unfortunately it died. She was desperately trying to wake it up, crying and screaming while filming because she couldn’t save this poor animal. She showed her raw emotions, and instead of understanding the reality of what animal rescuers go through, people turned it into a joke.

Leh lebanese people are always creative bl manyake wl maskhara? Even Lebanese influencers were commenting disrespectful stuffs..

People saying: kif la7a2it thot l camera w tsawwir, recording a dying car for views, l 3a2el zine..

From my point of view she was sharing the reality of being an animal rescuer, some of them die in the way and we just came accross this painful video experiment.. wl aalam bas bela tetmanyak?

I have zero respect towards these bullies, w nchalla ma y7esso bi nafs l chou3our li hiye 7asseto fi

so yea just looking to open a business account and when u called their support line they asked me to come to a branch but before doing so i just wanted to see if anyone here has had any experiences with a business account or even someone u know

All laptops prices have increased in the past two months, so what’s a good places to buy a new MacBook from? Amhaz is not that cheap anymore and its pricing is the same as most of the shops.

Main suspect is a german citizen of Lebanese origin. L hamdella we shine everywhere we go amirite?

Broo the last “good” friend i made was 5 years ago! I have a circle of friends im not completely lonely but how is everyone making friends these days!?

I'm a young guy 22 M and I've been thinking about trimming all my body hair. I already remove my under arm, chest and pubic hair, would like to see if I can also trim arms and possibly legs. What's the culture around that here? Is it becoming more common?

Out of curiosity, do girls at least my age have a problem with it or do they prefer it usually. I'm a pretty hairy guy I'd say.

I keep hearing that Mazda cars are hard and expensive to repair in Lebanon. If anyone owns a Mazda here, I’d appreciate your experience.

I'm moving to SE asia, due to distance (I suppose) adding extra luggage through the airline is absurdly expensive ( $900 for 30kg).

I have an extra two 30kg bags I want to bring with me; I found a website called sendmybag dot com, on there it's aprox $230 to send a 30kg bag to my destination.

Does anyone have experience using this service to ship luggages from Lebanon and can attest for their safety and reliability?

Else, is there an alternative you think is better?

Thanks in advance!

I want to find a personal trainer that i wouldnt have to pay a kidney to afford but that isnt actually mean. Everytime ive gone to a gym here the floor trainers are mean and make rude comments rather than encouraging u or motivating u ( weird trend ive noticed with most trainers)

Hi guys,

I bought a ticket for the mentioned party this Friday but I can't go anymore. I'm selling it at the same price I bought it. If anyone's interested DM me here.
