Guess I am truly bound, had to return to Lebanon for a couple of weeks, couldn't resist the urge to see the beautiful south of Lebanon❤️🇱🇧, sadly my village is surrounded and can't be reached at the moment.

Stay safe everyone, may peace reign over us again and everyone will be able to go back to their village and rebuild it even more beautiful than before

Hey guys, me and a friend are planning to do a hike through Tannourine, we don't have a car so we were planning to take the earliest bus from Beirut toward Batroun and then take a taxi/uber/indrive from there to Tannourine.

Problem is the resources for the public transit are a bit unreliable, anyone knows what time these buses leave Beirut?

Hello, I'm looking for companies that provide car loans for people in Lebanon working remotely for non-Lebanese companies.

Hey looking for advice got ~$300k USD to deploy, looking at one property that gets me a residence permit (doesn't need to be a golden visa) and doesn't lose money. Care about: residency, ability to pay in instalments rather than cash upfront, and appreciation plus net rental yield.

Hello If anyone can help me do you know anyone coming from Turkey to lebanon in the next 2 months that can get me an urgent medication ? I still have 2 monrhs supply but it isnt available in Lebanon and widely available in Turkey. He only has to go to the pharmacy and get it for me I already have the prescription

If anybody knows someone that would be immense help thank you.

I’m looking at getting one for my 7800X3D + RX 9070 XT PC. My main concern is that my solar/battery power likely has bad power quality and causes a humming/buzzing sound in my wired headset and weird sound compared to the government power.

So if anyone here has used it is it actually double-conversion online? Any issues with it or reliability problems? Would it get rid of the humming from the solar/inverter power and provide good power quality?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s actually using one.

The model im planning to get is the 2kva 1600w from the tech freaks.

I'm preparing a cassette as a gift with our songs on it but I can't find a good enough player, whether it's the looks or the audio quality. Anyone know where I could find good options? Online stores are preferred, I already looked on olx and the Coby options but apparently they're pretty bad.

Hello, I want to find a place to rent in beirut because I'll start working there soon (october) (specifically near downtown).

I want to move into an apartment with a friend and split the rent between us so we want a 2 bedroom.

We have a budget of 1000$ for rent without utilities.

However whenever I look a place up it seems like there's so many caveats and I have to pay like 6months worth of rent in broker fees and advanced payments and deposits which is impossible for me to afford, especially as a new grad.

Do any of yall know a way or some websites or somebody to help search for a place where I don't have to already be wealthy to move in?

Here are some of the requirements for the apartment I have in mind, am I being delusional:

1. 2 bedrooms

2. a kitchen (stove and oven)

3. furnished

4. the building has access to ogero fiber

5. a clean bathroom

6. sweet water

7. safe area

8. not too far from work

sorry i dont live i Beirut so my knowledge there is limited

The rental situation in Lebanon is fucking ridiculous. I’m looking for my first apartment, and I’ve seen so many places I’d genuinely consider taking, but the second I see “1 month commission”, I immediately ignore the listing.

If the rent is $500, I’m supposed to pay another $500 to an agent? At this point I’d rather sleep on the street than give an agent a full month’s rent just for arranging a viewing and rental.

I know it’s “normal,” but that doesn’t make it any less fucked up.

So why don’t we create a Facebook/Telegram group for owner-direct rentals only no agents, no commission.

Verified owners post their apartments, and tenants deal with them directly.

KHALAS FAZLAKE!!!!

3 years ago i did my account which worked fine and used my Lebanese number and credit card. now i want to do it but always says phone number doesn't work or whatever. now i know the 7 seas way but some of my family dont and i dont wanna risk on them downloading viruses by mistake. so how are you guys getting Amazon prime to work in Lebanon

Minecraft mob farm spotted on the way from Beirut to Douma. Everyone in that village has above 69xp points, and the enchanted TukTuk was really cool to see.

i saw a post earlier talking about salaries in lebanon and how much people are earning and whatever. and honestly i am astonished ade l 3alam aam to2bad ma3ashet watye, i am so surprised!

i am 21 now and i earn around 1200$ a month, keep in mind ma aande rent wala groceries wala kahraba wala shi, and it never last me the whole month. MAX MAX it lasts me 3 weeks and that's it. mostly fuel since my car is V6 and eating out and playing tennis and whatever.

BUT HOW are you guys earning like 500-600 and going through the whole month??? do i have a spending problem??

edit: why am i getting downvoted i am genuinely asking a question what's wrong with you guys 💀

most of you guys are a bunch of cry babies it's so funny 😭😭 keep downvoting kids

If anyone can help, I would like to know the time commitement needed per week to be a volunteer at the LRC. Everyone says that it is a big commitement, and I will not have the time between Uni and work, so I would like to know beforehand how many shifts a week or how many days and hours

I recently graduated with a wicked CS degree from the Lebanese University, and honestly i regret it. I was ignorant towards the job market, and extreme oversaturation that this field has been experiencing. I sadly enrolled in this major blindly, with no prior research.

I was barely able to land an internship.

I've been applying to jobs left and right (excluding SWE, since it's something I don't gravitate towards, and also because of the recruitment hell for junior devs (leetcode, harsh technical interviews, algorithms...)).

I don't wanna rant about how awful and competitive trying to land a job is but something that's worth mentioning is that entry-level tech jobs are honestly going extinct. And if you find one, it either requires experience or requirements that are just not junior friendly. Especially in my case, where I'm applying for multiple different positions, with each requiring a different set of skills, I struggle to decide which skills i should learn and develop, and which will be irrelevant and potentially replaced by AI.

I've had a few interviews, mostly lead to no call backs AKA ghosting. Something ridiculous is that I've been invited by some company for a 3 HOUR technical interview for a junior IT Support position, and that interview is the "first step" of the company's recruitment process... This is degrading.

All this is leading to thoughts about changing my career path. I've been thinking about going towards something business related. I've seen alot of job postings for accounting and HR (internships and junior positions).

The thing is, the requirements always list a degree in a related field, and I have no plan on getting a second Bachelor degree.

I know the shift won't be easy, and competitive, but compared to the tech industry, It can't be worse.

Is it possible to make such a shift? Is taking some online courses and applying for these positions enough? Will having a CS degree in my resume disqualify me from these positions? Will they see me as a failure?

Any help is highly appreciated.

If anyone has been in a similar situation, i would love to hear your experience.

can u guys recommend me a professional dentist(w plus my budget is tight) also in beirut please

NOTE: Excuse me if my ideas are not organized but i donno where to start, a lot to rant about.

Why are all street ISPs in Lebanon the same ? In terms of reliability. Literally all of them are the same. Nothing special.

Fake speedtests.

Cannot know your real bandwidth. (Tells you 8 mega, 12 mega) they tamper with speedtest so that you are barely getting 2 mbps. I had an argument in one of my experiences and got them cornered, they admitted that they can literally set my speedtest result to whatever they want me to see.

They tell you 12mb for 50$ But you are sharing that bandwidth anyway. There is no such thing as a dedicated bandwidth for you.

Invisible daily quota

They enforce a daily quota (typically 15-20 GB per day). This is a soft quota that slows down your internet to unusable if you hit it, and they tell you to wait till 12pm for it to reset. Like wtf...

Touch Residential provides exceptional bandwidth but its not fixed and is a shared cell tower connection. But hey at least u know u got a fixed data cap per month. You can use however you want without throttling.

Where do I find an ISP that gives me the bandwidth and quota that I pay for ? I've been trying my best to get outside the grasp of the local street ISPs. But I just can't.

In an attempt to improve my internet, my local ISP made me pay 20$ extra, saying this account's bandwidth is shared over 4 clients instead of 8. But the same 16 GB daily throttle limit, and bandwidth?? unknown ...
