About me

About Me
I am a reflective wanderer who turns her encounters into stories to be told during her walking guided tours in Beirut. I am passionate about discovering hidden gems, attending art exhibitions, having oral history conversations about the recent history of Beirut, and discovering specialty coffee shops.

Why Beirut?
Beirut is the city that all the Arab countries have always needed, whether culturally, politically, architecturally, or artistically. This city is a melting pot of almost all ethnicities and those who wander its streets would feel so, just as authors and poets from different parts of the worlds who wrote about it felt it too.

Where else can you find me online?

Specialty coffee

"Bn Coffee Bar" has always been one of my favorites in Beirut because it's open from 08:00! I love having my specialty latte after my morning Sunday walk.
