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.

Sheikh Abdel Rahman Hout Garden
Amidst highways
The best part? The garden has no gates and is accessible 24/7. Most locals don't know it because barely anyone is walking in the midst of highways.

Al-Bustani School
Neglected first national school
The school was a non-religious institution that opened its doors to any student regardless of religion, social status, or where they were from.

The Old Manara
Beirut's old lighthouse
"The Old Manara" (lighthouse) in Beirut has been standing still since 1957. I love how it makes me feel so small next to it...
