    Halleh temak is an expression commonly said by the Lebanese, and they are right. Roughly translating to “sweeten your mouth”, it is an invitation to enjoy something sweet and make your day feel better.

    And we do. Not just because we Lebanese have a sweet tooth, but also because pastries and desserts made in Lebanon by our so skillful chefs are irresistibly delicious.

    Most pastry shops in Lebanon have lovely sitting areas where you can fully enjoy sweetening your palate with no guilt whatsoever.

    Here are some great pastry shops in Beirut, and in Tripoli.

    #11 Hunt for street murals and graffity

    This has a thrill of its own, and street murals don’t lack in Lebanon. These creative arts are fascinating, always carrying a certain public statement, and are free to admire. Plus, they are Instagrammable.

    #12 Boost your health with some street jogging

    A post shared by Jean Medlej (@jeanmedlej)

    Jogging doesn’t have to be a long and forced activity; unless you are an athlete or preparing for a Marathon. It is de-stressing if you take it easy and a good energy-booster. It is actually fun to jog in the open air and fill yourself with that sense of freedom that comes along.

    #13 Unwind in a green public space

    If you don’t have obligations that require you to be home right after work, head to a park to enjoy the natural environment, whether with a book to read or just to walk leisurely around.
