Sky Diving Simulator in Beirut

How cool is that pic? It’s a bit dangerous since that flimsy-looking, not-high-enough barrier is just meters away from the main highway and those sharp, pointy metal fences… But, it’s still wicked awesome. Naturally, I parked and went down to investigate. Here’s what I got:

  • 40,000 LBP / two minutes (a bit pricy!)
  • 7 year olds and up
  • 85 Kilograms or less (I can’t ride… yet!)
  • Opens every day from 4:00 PM till midnight (except Sundays, which is weird since it’s everyone’s day off!)
  • Open all summer long
  • Near Stade Michel El Murr, right after Citymall where the old theme park used to be

The people there didn’t let me climb up and snap a shot of the giant fan, even though I insisted! Which is kind of a bad start for me with them! I mean, so what if I snap a photo and share it? It’s not like nuclear secrets of Iran!

Anyway, I embedded several shots of it, and the last shot is an example of a closer look from abroad. Here’s a video if you’re still not convinced.

Instagram Picks of the Week: Lehfed

1- The Gate

My grandfather built this gate himself, much like the rest of the summer house nestled in the mountains above Jbeil, Byblos in Lebanon.

2- The Green Arches

My grandma has quite the green thumb. Look at how beautiful these well-kept living arches have become!

3- The Suspended Garden

The arches weren’t enough, so my grandma made them even more awesome…

4- The Ancient Stairs

These lead up to a nice old church and a fresh water spring!

5- The Neighbors’

The flowers add so much to this house… Shows how a little life can bring a lot of beauty to something not so nice!

6- Cedar Sunset

Contrary to popular belief, some cedars still do exist! This is taken in Anaya, near the St Charbel mausoleum.

7- Steppes and Valleys

This photo was taken on the road between Lehfed and Anaya. Loved it!
