I’ve met so many wonderfully amazing people all around the world. Every single one I meet, I invite to come to Lebanon. I try to describe how wonderful parts of it are, how amazing most of its people can be and how delicious our food is. The main selling points are always: history, nature, food and nightlife. However, why would they take my word for it? And it’s hard to describe complex little Lebanon in a few words sometimes.
I always wish there was a short, professionally shot montage that would sum Lebanon, or parts of it, up beautifully. Words can only go so far, whereas a shot taken at the right moment, of the right things and from the right angle, can portray so much more. That’s when I saw a video my good friend Dalal Mawad shared on her timeline, and was like “yes, exactly, something like that!”
The video I’ve embedded below was done by an awesome Lebanese company based in the UK called Taste Lebanon. Their twitter bio sums it up pretty well:
Providing boutique interactive culinary journeys & retreats, vegetarian packages, gourmet workshops & much more through out Lebanon
I loved the video, and I hope you will too. It brought warm feelings to my heart and reminded me that if you take a minute to pause, Lebanon still shines in so many areas, and all the political trouble aside, it’s one hell of a jampacked tiny package of a country! I’m definitely recommending friends from abroad check Taste Lebanon out, and this was quite a pleasant discovery of a very professional group of folks that are working hard to show another face of Lebanon, and how food here is more than food, it’s a reason for friends, families and visitors to bond over and create happy memories.
