Top Comments of this video!! :3
I lived in Beirut for a year in the early 2000s (I was bureau chief for the news outlet I worked for at the time.) It's difficult to describe to those who've never visited just how culturally rich, historically significant, and downright beautiful the country is -- though you do a pretty darn good job of that here.š
The people of Lebanon are easily among the friendliest and most helpful I've ever met, the food is amazing, and the history and culture can't be beat. It's had a rough go of it over the past 50 years or so. Yet even with the civil war, the refugee crisis, economic problems, and the 2020 blast, it's still easy to see why Beirut is called the Paris of the Middle East, and why the country as a whole is a favorite among people from all over the world.

I am so happy to see that you had such a good time. Thank you for showing your audience the beauty that is this tiny mismanaged piece of heaven! My country has been through so much yet every time I have taken my European friends (I am Lebanese but moved to London when I was 7) they have reminded me just why I fell in love with Lebanon in the first place and they loved it just as much! I actually moved to Beirut and worked there for 3 years after graduation and itās sad to witness what has happened since 2019 but like we always say, Lebanon is a Phoenix and it WILL rise again.

As a (half) Lebanese, this video warms my heart. While life in Lebanon can be tough, watching videos like these help remind me of all the beauty and culture thatās out there that can hardly be paralleled anywhere else. Thanks Elena for bringing exposure to this beautiful country. I watched your content for a long time and wish we could have crossed paths! I hope you will come back again someday because thereās so much more to discover! ā¤

Hi Elena! Iāve been subscribed forever and I remember watching videos from the last time you were in Beirut! Iām half Lebanese but have always felt very disconnected from my culture, I have never been to Lebanon and itās of course at the top of my list to visit. Thank for highlighting such a beautiful place and people, Iāve been looking forward to this oneš±š§
