The First Impressions of Lebanon During Economic Crisis 🇱🇧 الانطباعات الأولى عن لبنان

- After exploring Jordan in the Middle East it was time for a new country. Regardless of hearing so many times from other travelers and friends that it is not the right time for Lebanon, I still booked my flights and arrived in Beirut - the capital city.
The first thing first, the economical crisis is real and the situation of the country does not get any better. The value of the local currency drops day by day. As of mid-December, I changed 200 USD to around 5 million Lebanese Pounds. Which is a huge amount of cash to carry around.
There was an explosion in the port in 2020, and you still see so many abandoned buildings by the sea - broken windows, destroyed walls - some of them you can see in the video.
Overall I am enjoying my stay in this beautiful country and planning to stay longer. The most important people are so lovely! So you should expect more content from Lebanon. For now, enjoy the first impressions video from Beirut.

dear and lovely lebanon and lebanese😍
send all my love from iran to beautiful lebanon🇱🇧♥️🇮🇷
Thanks Iran❤
I am Lebanese, everything Dawoud stated about Lebanon was true. I love his videos. He shows the truth of each country, which is good for people that want to travel.
This will give all his followers and viewers a more clear picture of where they are going !
Thanks for sharing this video I went to Lebanon and travelled to various places in January 2020 for 8 days it is an amazingly beautiful country I loved the mountains especially, lovely people ans so friendly I really hope that the country sorts its problems out the great Lebanese people deserve better. Love from UK 🇬🇧 🇱🇧
Love to all Lebanese people from México.
We also love Mexico very much❤
I am lebanese, it's satisfying that you still can appreciate it in its turmoil. Go to Zahle, no beggers there and 24/7 electricity
Lebanon is overrated man (ana lebnene), and you know the worst thing about it is that its full of shias.
Things will imrove, i plan to visit it next month too for blogging
@@johnkilljoy6211 why is this jealousy towards shias...
@@johnkilljoy6211 lmao are you serious? shia or not, lebanon is in literal shits
I want to visit lebanon from USA in a few months. is it safe to walk around zahle and surrounding towns?? Where do i convert to LL. black market rate?? one month 1 bedroom rental costs??
Thank you for explaining the currency exchange issue between banks and black market exchange booths. That really makes a big difference for a trip. It can make it or break it.
Welcome lebanon ❤🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
Will visit next 2 months InshAllah for vlog
10:00 Kibbeh Does not contain bread its beef meat and burghoul( crushed wheat) from outside and meat onions and pines from inside all fried.
Lebanon has always been on the bucket list. Thank you for the vlog.
Such a rich culture
You very told natural environment. Good function 👏
Thank you very much Davide
The number of beggars has increased with the Syrian war and economic situation of Lebanon. The trash...well...you imagine yourself...in the middle of a huge political/economic crises and Corona epidemy the port exploded the way we all saw on the news. The trash is the last thing that the government will take care of. And yet, you see people treating the tourists the way they treat. Lebanon is amazing and the Lebanese people are adorable. Love from a Brazilian in Germany ❤
Being pakistani i love your vlogs really amazing now i am watching your lebnan series
Love from Pakistan.🇵🇰
There are well over a dozen different varieties of kubbeh in the levant
Generally it has 2 main ingredients bulgur/wheat and meat
You should try kibbeh nayyeh (raw kibbeh) it is specific to the south lebanese region although it's raw but it tastes really good
Love From Pakistan 🇵🇰😍
Nice Vlog of Beirut thank you

The mother of andruw jones is lebanese. Curacao vs canada on march 25th in curacao
Zhale Is bellissima ❤️🌹
The beggars are not lebanese for your own information ,a lebanese would not beg even if he is starving.
There are many charities and Churches who take care of unfortunate lebanese .
It is really unfortunate that the dollers has to be exchanged in the black market. May this beautiful country tide over the present crisis.
Davud bro your sri lankan series is amazing i watch your sri lankan vlog daily
The begging issue comes from non lebanese individuals.. you won't find a lebanese begging for money even if he's extremely poor.... Venture also out of just Beirut... U'r missing a lot of cool places...( Jounieh bay,, cable car...).. Jbeil.. Batroun, baalbek, tripoli... Saida etc
Nice to see you in lebanon ❤
David like ur volgs watched pakistan/jordan brillant is Lebanon expensive even with high currency can u use pounds currency from uk😊
You didnt go to the mountains and villages of lebanon ..
Welcome to beirut ❤ i am khodor
So did you change your money from black market?
❤🇱🇧❤🇱🇧
🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
Hi there. I have a trip planned to Lebanon in July. Did you have a driver while you were there? If so, how did you find them?
Also. How do you find where to exchange money at the black market rate?
Exchange offices are the black markets , also you can exchange in western union places there are plenty of them
@@TrapHeroes Thank you. Looking forward to finally visiting lebanon in 2 months!
@@rubenvaldes7392 you're welcome brother , i hope you enjoy your time here
@@TrapHeroes One last question. Is Gemmayze a good place to stay? I found what looks like a nice spot there.
@@rubenvaldes7392 yes it is , foreigners usually stays there and in achrafieh

Where are you from ?
what did you see in Lebanon?
You go to film the trash? If you want to see the real Lebanon you should’ve arranged a tourist plan instead of walking around randomly, I am sure if i travel to Azerbaijan i will find poor people, beggars and trash if I go to the areas that you avoided to film in your own country.
All countries have their good and bad sides, if i compare this video with other tourist videos in Lebanon, then I will think you are in another country completely, I feel bad that your trip to Lebanon was useless without seeing the beauty of the real Lebanon.
Lebanon , Syria, Jordan, Palestine " the Levant countries" are sharing 90% the same culture ,food..etc so if you went to more diffrent restaurents in Jordan you would find tabbuleh and kubbeh " that's how we say it here 😅".... but as lebanese are good in marketing and showing their culture, other countries think that it's lebanese,, will some are originaly from lebanon like tabbouleh and fattoush but you can't say that about kubbeh shawerma and hommos ,,,,any dish that appears in any part of the levant countrie - through ages- spread the other day to the rest 😅 ... anyway that bread is called " khubez shami " which means leavant bread
Hbbte kubbeh is either lebanese or syrian, it ain't jordanian I'm sorry
@@abbasssater6466 dear brother,if you don't know somthing that doesn't mean it doeosn't exist!
I live in Jordan, i'm palestenian and my neighbours are ; one Jordanian , one Syrian and one Lebanese,,we cook together for years ,,so i know ecxactly what i'm talking about 😅
I agree some food are in the Levants some are in the Levant and teh balkans countries
But yet each country does it own twist
Unsaid were in Jordan
U noticed even zaatar The Jordanian isnt the same as Syria and Lebanon ?
@@28Justchecking right👍...
Yeah 😅 zaatar in Jordan and Palestine is different from that in Lebanon and Syria,,actually you may find different types of zaatar in the same country ... becsuse besides the way and used ingrediants of making it , in arabic we say "zaatar" for both origano and thyme and these tow are from the same herbs family but they are slightly different in taste .
@@ranaj.6531 All food in Levant is Lebanese you Syrians and Jordanians have no shit
Lebanon how visate visa
Paris of the Middle East. When is it a good time to go? I went Lebanon many years ago after my ghastly oppressive trip to Jordan and absolutely loved it. People were pretty decent to me and food great. Also there are some really good looking people there and while yes it probably is too much into nose jobs, i did not find them unpleasant as can often go with vanity. As a brown person i felt chilled here. Though I have read they can be mean to domestic folk but i think thats not just a Lebanese problem, i think its world wide. Absolutely love Beirut and the best food. The currency was in a better state when i visited, i think i paid in dollars in main. Your 75 dollars thing sounds insane! Things must be worse. (Gosh is that the infamous suicide spot, eeks had forgotten that!)
Ümid edirəm ki, siz də İrana gələcəksiniz
Bro I hope you come to iran 🇮🇷
I am a diaspora 100% lebanese. I got tears in my eyes seeing those beautiful young guys. What will there future be in a country run by corupt politicians. 🙈
