Beautiful Beirutis celebrate their newfound peace
Right after the Doha-peace agreement, I boarded the bus for Beirut. Good decision. Beirutis are celebrating their newfound peace in every possible way. There are not too many highlights to be seen in the city, it is the beautiful people and the atmosphere you’re after. And there is more than plenty of that.
