It’s crazy hot in Beirut

If you have a house in the mountains, you’re lucky because you can escape Beirut’s heat!

All Snap stories are filled with temperature shots

There’s no need to remind us how hot it is. We all have the weather app.

TRAFFIC

There’s traffic all year long but it’s unbearable in summer because IT’S HOT.

Jelleb and charab el wared are the best drinks out there

You spend your days at the mall to escape the heat

A reasonable person does not wander outside in summer.

Mosquitoes are everywhere

Your best friends are electric rackets! You also embrace your inner Serena Williams.

You feel God is testing your patience when there’s no electricity and you can’t turn on the air conditioner or the fan

Here’s a question: WHY DON’T WE HAVE ELECTRICITY 24/7? WHY ARE WE PAYING OUR BILLS?

Sausage legs selfies are all over Instagram

Cliché pictures are everywhere on social media. Let’s not forget about the cringy hashtag: #VitaminSea.

You only wear shorts

Tan lines competition

  • “An ba3ed ma nzelte 3al baher?”
  • “Ana samra aktar mennik”

You enter shops just to stand in front of the air conditioner

And you’re worried people will think you stole something when you leave the store without buying anything.

You are invited to dozens of weddings

Lebanese weddings are so extra!
