About Me
My journey into Lebanese tourism started with a random encounter that changed my life. One day I was sitting in my car in Jounieh and two famous vloggers, World Nomac and Luke Damant, happened to be walking by at the exact same moment. They stopped and asked me for some simple advice: “Where can we find some traditional Lebanese food?” Little did we know, that question would lead to an unforgettable set of adventures over the coming days that turned to months of exploring all over Lebanon.
While spending the next couple months with Mac and Luke, I found myself getting closer to my country and seeing it through the eyes of a tourist in Lebanon. Spending the time sharing the history, lifestyle, food and experiences in my country gave me a whole new appreciation for it. My love for Lebanon grew to a new level and I found how much I enjoyed sharing this hidden gem of a country to the world.
Over the next year, Mac and Luke shared the videos of our experiences around Lebanon which had drawn the attention from people all around the world. These videos gave the country a new angle outside of what the traditional news perspective is. This led to a handful of prospective travelers who were considering Lebanon to reach out and request if I could also show them around Lebanon with a similar local emersion to the culture and experiences around Lebanon. I decided to show a few groups around Lebanon that following summer and during that time I realized my passion and calling was to share more of the Lebanese culture, cuisine and experiences. The unique angle that has fueled my passion for sharing this country with the world is the one-of-a-kind experiencing Lebanon like a local tour that I provide.
Through this time, I came to realization that my main purpose is to show people what Lebanon has to offer through the beautiful landscapes, hidden gems in terms of food, diverse history, and last but not least the amazing social life/life style Lebanon shows to the world.
At first what was meant to be an introduction to the city of Jounieh, turned into to show them the real Lebanon – its culture, history, and amazing food. What started as a food hunt turned into a two-month exploration of our country. We visited every corner, from busy cities to quiet villages. One of them even decided to stay in Lebanon and live like a local!
That experience opened new doors for me. It inspired me to become a tour guide and share my love for Lebanon with others. Now, let’s hit the road together and explore Lebanon’s wonders with LebanOn The Road by your side!
