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?

Crypt Museum

Underneath a cathedral

An exciting part of this museum is that at some point, if you look up, you'll be looking through a glass ceiling that shows the church right above you.

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.
