This Is Why Lebanon Is So Addictive—My Final Day Vlog 🇱🇧

This Is Why Lebanon Is So Addictive—My Final Day Vlog 🇱🇧

Yeah. Wow. It has a little bit of a kick to it, too. Wow. 
Look at this car. Here we are. This is the KF I’ve been looking for. Look at how beautiful 
that looks. Look at that. Those guys are having a blast. Those jet skis are just ripping circles 
around here. Every single time I interact with Lebanese people, I fall more and more in love with 
the country. I feel very underdressed. Like people are done up here. Food. There’s water in them 
and there’s some dry food in some of them. People left these all here for all the cats. Man, look at 
those guys. They’re about to sink. I’ve never seen people fish like that in my life. Man, Lebanese 
are built different. What’s up everybody? Welcome to my last day in Beirut, Lebanon. I’ve only got 
a few hours left until the sun sets, so I thought I would take you guys along with me as I explore 
the city one last time. I’m actually really sad I’m leaving. Like, I can’t wait to come back next 
summer. I’ll probably come back for about 2 weeks, I’m guessing. next summer. It listen, it’s 
not a big city. It’s not a big country, but you do need time. It’s It’s very enjoyable. 
Even if you do the same thing every single day, it’s Beirut. The energy here is something else. 
Right now, I’m smack in the middle of Beirut. You have Martyr Square over there, which has a ton 
of history. Massive flag of Lebanon. You have the Alamine Mosque. You have a Marinite church, 
which was built couple hundred years ago. Now, you have Roman ruins from thousands of years 
ago all along over here. This used to be a Roman road. And then you have another church. I’m 
actually not sure what kind of church that is, but it has three separate buildings. So, it’s 
1, two, and three. Not too many places in the world you could go to that has this much 
history so close to each other. In Lebanon, every street has history. It doesn’t matter 
which street you go to, especially in central Beiruts. No matter where you go, you’ll see 
something from like 100 years ago, 200 years ago, maybe from 40 years ago, somebody will always 
have a story to tell you. No matter what street you’re on. And now I’m getting hungry. So, 
let’s go hit up the Armenian Quarter. I’m going to have a sandwich I haven’t tried yet. 
It’s a sujuk sandwich. I don’t think I’ve seen any other country that has sujuk shwarma wraps. 
They even have it on the shora like spinning thing where usually there’s chicken or beef 
being cut from it. They have sujuk on that. So, it’s a really small place. Only take 
out. There’s nowhere to sit down. They have some places where you can lean 
against, but it’s pretty loud under so I came outside. Here’s how it looks. 
Pretty standard pa sandwich. I told you guys I’ve never tried this kind of sujuk 
before, especially in a wrap like this. That’s not sujuk. That’s bushwarma. I went in there and I told 
him, “Hey buddy, I ordered a sujuk. What is this?” He’s like, “Come.” He gave me a sujuk 
wrap and he took that wrap back. And now we know it’s sujuk because we could see a little 
bit of it hanging out. All right, first bite. Much thicker than the schwarma. You know what 
it tastes like? It tastes like pepperoni. It literally tastes like you’re biting into long 
strips of pepperoni. [Music] It has a little bit of a kick to it, too. Not too spicy, just a little 
bit. Ali Alaka Ali for tourism or work here? Tourism. Tourism. Yeah. I’m I’m from Canada, but 
originally I’m from Iran. Yeah. Yeah. I’m born in Canada. You work in Canada, but you’re uh Irani. 
Irani. Yeah. Like Lebanese Canada. Like who? That live in Canada and have a passport. Exactly. 
Exactly. Like Lebanon more than Canada. Uh both both countries have their beauties but Beirut is 
very nice. I could only speak about Beirut. Beirut is beautiful. You like Beirut? Yeah, I don’t like 
Beirut because of traffic. Traffic traffic here. You guys I love more. You you know in Canada 
we have more traffic than Beiruts in Toronto. Next up, we’re going to get some sweets 
at Dwahi Sweets of Lebanon. Hopefully, they have the KFA that I like. 
I’m looking for some KFA Nablusi. That’s the one that I’ve been looking for. 
Wow, they have all these different types of baklava and pastries, too. This place is 
so good. Here we are. This is the KF I’ve been looking for. Look at how beautiful that 
looks. It also comes with this on the side. You’re supposed to pour it on top. Got a bottle 
of water. And I’m not sure what this is they gave me. Maybe I’ll stay away from that because 
today I’m eating everything. First things first. Pour that all over on top. Here’s a big bite. I can actually use a little bit more of this. So, let’s just spray that all over. But wow, 
this is quality dessert. My god, [Music] man. The staff at that restaurant were such 
sweethearts. They were all such nice people. Every single time I interact with Lebanese people, I fall more and more in love with the 
country. Got to this mall over here in Ashraf ABC Mall. Parts of it are covered and 
then parts of it are just wide open like this. Very cool place. I’m just here 
in shorts and a t-shirt. I feel very underdressed. Like people are done up here. This is such a cool mall. Now I’m going to the 
rooftop. I’m sure there’s more stores here, but it’s really cool. I’ve never seen a concept 
like this. I actually love it. Makes everything nice and bright. Oh yeah, looks like it’s 
all restaurants over here. It’s so funny because I was just walking by and I walked in. 
I had no idea this place was not on my list at all. Yeah. So over here it’s all restaurants. 
There’s a movie theater here. There’s a bunch of stuff. Dip and dip chocolate, Joe and the 
Juice, international brands. Very busy here, too, at this mall. Of course, I find a mall that 
I love on my last day in Beirut. All right, we are about to hit up one of the most iconic sites 
in all of Lebanon. Raos. Wow, look at this car. That’s a cool color Lambo. Hold on, guys. I’m trying to see what I can 
squeeze in over here. Let me go right now. There’s boats that keep going in between 
it and they keep doing spins all around it. There’s even jet skiis that keep going in and 
out of it. What a nice view that plane has right now of Beirut. Perfect time to land over here. 
This is beautiful. And that is Qatar Airways. pretty much just goes all the way around all 
of downtown Beirut. People walk up and down it, families, everybody. Thought the only way to 
view it was from the actual Cornesh itself, but people are coming down here, too. Somebody told me people used to jump down from 
here into the water. Go down a few more stairs. Wow, what a beautiful view from over here, guys. Look at that. Those guys are having 
a blast. Those jet skiis are just ripping circles around here. This is beautiful. Beirut is truly something else. Everybody’s going 
down here and I guess you get an unobstructed view. But I’m going to go back. I’m going 
to walk the whole Cornish to downtown Beirut right now. And the bugs here are just completely 
killing me. These Lebanese mosquitoes and flies, they have no soul. They’re just all over me. You 
guys have the shisha out already selling water bottles. It’s just something very common here in 
Lebanon. Right when the sun starts going down, people just sit down anywhere and pull out a 
shisha. Like last night was Saturday night over here when the stores were closing. People just 
pulled out their chairs in front of the stores and everybody just smoking shisha. Literally the 
whole city smelt like double apple tobacco. And this walk is beautiful, guys. There’s palm trees 
lined up all along it. Clean sidewalks over here. You’ll see restaurants on the other side of 
these restaurants is the ocean. They all have a beautiful view of the Lebanese waterfront. 
Only downside is every single night there’s a crazy amount of traffic here because there’s 
so many people coming here every single night to go for a walk, enjoy the restaurants, coffee 
shops, just fay route in the summer. As I said it a million times already. It’s something else. I’m 
so lucky. Most of this walk has been downhill so far. Like look, I came from over there. It’s 
all been downhill. You see people’s leftover food. There’s water in them and there’s some 
dry food in some of them. People left these all here for all the cats. I don’t know if you guys 
could see. There’s like 50 cats in front of me. I’m counting just over here. Seven. There’s 
like three over here. And look, this is the dry food people left. All of these have water 
inside them. Man, there’s cats everywhere here. Man, look at those guys. They’re about to sink. 
There is nothing around them. And the water’s about to take over the rock they’re standing on. 
I’ve never seen people fish like that in my life, man. Lebanese are built different. These 
guys are fishing right in the ocean. That is peak masculinity right there. Those two guys. 
Warriors. We’re going to keep going this way out to Cornish. Look how beautiful this view is, 
guys. Right now, you’re going to hear a lot of music. I hope YouTube doesn’t catch on to it and 
demonetize my video. Be famous for its nightclubs, and most of their nightclubs are either on 
rooftops or on the beachfront. Oh, look at these fishermen. They’re just hanging off these rocks. 
Oh, wow. There’s people even swimming over here. I didn’t know people swim over here to 
be honest. I thought it was too high for people to jump in, but I guess 
there’s ways to go down from here. The water just looks beautiful. 
Nice and clear. Look at that. This is where all the noise is coming from. 
The biggest pool party where Vieira I did the unthinkable. Zero partying in Beirut. 
Nobody comes to Beirut without partying, especially in the summer. These dogs are tied 
to barb wire. Everyone’s here hanging out at the beach. They’re swimming, whatever. Right. 
These two poor dogs. They’re tangled. Look, this one can’t even move. Look at him. He 
can’t even sit down properly. He can’t lay down. He’s trying to lay down right now. He 
can’t. That’s literally animal abuse. [Music] Guys are nuts. They just jumped off here. Look, there’s rocks over here and 
they jumped right over it. Wow. Wow. These guys are nuts. All right, let’s hit up 
Uncle Dick and grab a coffee. I think the store Yeah, it’s called Uncle 
Dick Coffee or Uncle Dick. Sorry, not Dick. Uncle Deick coffee. This one, right? Thank you. Sugar. No. No. Okay. I needed a little 
pickme uper. I had no idea it was going to take me this long to get here. I still 
have at least another half hour left. That’ll keep me up for a few hours. [Music]
[Music] Finally made it to Zetuna Bay. Wow, that 
was a walk from Rocher, guys. But it was a blast. I wouldn’t have spent my last day in 
Beirut any other way. If you made it this far, thank you so much. I’ll see you in the 
next one. Goodbye from Beirut, Lebanon.

On my final day in Lebanon, I explored some of the most iconic and historic places in Beirut. I started my morning walking around the stunning Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, followed by the beautiful Saint George Maronite Cathedral right beside it. Just steps away, I checked out the Roman ruins and another historic church that remind you how ancient and diverse this city truly is.

After exploring downtown Beirut, I headed to Basterma Mano for their famous sujuk shawarma, one of the most flavourful sandwiches you can find in Lebanon.

Later in the afternoon, I visited Raouché, also known as Pigeon Rocks.
Raouché is a natural rock formation along Beirut’s coastline, massive limestone sea stacks that have become one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Locals and tourists come here for the incredible views, cliffside cafés, and the relaxing Mediterranean breeze.

To end the night, I walked through the beautiful Zaitunay Bay, one of Beirut’s most modern waterfront areas filled with restaurants, yachts, and perfect nighttime views.

This was the perfect way to end my trip and Lebanon definitely left a mark on me.

If you’ve never visited Beirut, this vlog will show you a completely different side of the city.
