My Lebanon.

No matter how heavy the moment feels…
Lebanon’s story has never ended in defeat.

To me, you are not the Paris of the Middle East,
you are Lebanon, a name that carries its own identity and resilience.

A land that traces back to Phoenicia, giving the world one of its first alphabets.
Beirut, a city that held one of the first law schools during the Roman era.

A Phoenix that rises again, no matter how much they try to break or divide it.

And those who truly believe, no matter their faith, will always stand under one flag, the Lebanese flag. 🇱🇧

I have always been a big fan of Hollywood movies. As a teenager, I never imagined I would one day visit the US. Back then, the closest I could get to Hollywood was visiting Planet Hollywood in Dubai.

I admired the movie props, the outfits, and the handprints of my favorite celebrities, especially . When the Dubai branch closed in 2012, I was devastated.

After some research, I discovered there was still a Planet Hollywood in Doha, Qatar. Before even visiting Los Angeles, California, I made a promise to myself that whenever I visit Doha, I must dine there.

The moment I walked in, the child inside me came out. I was walking around taking photos and videos, completely absorbed in every detail. It was obvious to the staff how excited I was. Anthony approached me first, and after hearing my story, he surprised me in the best way possible by arranging for all the screens in the restaurant to display my name.

While my order was being prepared, he took me on a tour of the place. I had a fantastic time. Every visit to Doha, will always be a stop for me.
