Good afternoon guys or should I say [__] my friends we are here in actually we're
in transit but we're in the beautiful country of Lebanon right now with the one and only beautiful
Mabelle right here and guys you're probably wondering where we're going actually actually
now you probably know because you clicked on this video and saw that we're heading to Tannourine which
is according to Fouad who's not actually with us right now the largest village in all of Lebanon
so I'm not entirely sure what defines a village versus a city but for village standards i guess it
is massive and it is beautiful and we're heading up there right at 5 00 p.m i will tell you guys
it is 35 minutes away so we've got about two hours till sunset hopefully that'll give us enough time
to check into the guest house show you where we're gonna be staying at maybe catch a sunset
maybe catch a little meal we'll see what it's gonna look like honestly i don't know anything
about Tannourine except that it's beautiful excited to show you guys this experience and
uh if there's anything exciting on the way we'll definitely be showing you ready for this I'm ready.
So guys as you can see we're going to be getting off at the Batroun exit you can
see the Batroun sign over there you can see that we are arriving right into this amazing city but
uh we're actually gonna be heading west or shall I say east into the mountains because patron sits
as you know right on the water and we're gonna be going probably I think another 31 minutes
until we get up into the mountains and so we shall see you're going to notice a very interesting sign
right here and uh this is a x-rated sign but uh it's not actually x-rated that says auto hub so
as you guys can see they've utilized the auto hub from a different logo you may recognize
and if you don't recognize it that is uh great news you're a good person
did you recognize it no auto hub that's uh I know oh yeah yeah of course you know.
You've been to uh Tannourine before yeah do you remember going or no I was like really young
so basically I know I was really young and um like we used to play with all the like uh
friends something that so. How old you? Like eight?
Younger. Oh you can remember. Like six?
Yeah probably like six-seven I do remember it was like it was like going to kendra and
i was like oh my god oh that's a good sign guys childhood and so you went with your family or what
I have for trump with myself I don't know maybe even with friends back then
Lebanese people are very talkative you know they make friends at a young age
so like what am I going to expect here a lot of mountains or yeah yeah sorry
Fouad we miss you bro
but as you can see guys we're cruising through the mountains really beautiful landscapes here
on the left side it looks like the highway was actually maybe even carved out to uh go
right down here we got cars passing us [__] actually as a female [__] that's how you know
the Arabic's getting pretty good here guys but uh anyways yeah I probably shouldn't be
uh vlogging and driving Mabelle kind of holding the camera most of the time anyways
but uh yeah we're cruising down we're coming around the uh bend this way
and we've still got another 22 minutes so I believe we're gonna have pretty beautiful drive
we're gonna have a pretty beautiful drive here through the mountains so [__]
Tannourine that's how you spell it right there guys.
So guys we are cruising through the mountains right now we're like eight minutes away and let
me just tell you that like these mountains are for sure like this part of Lebanon like unique
from what i've seen they're all like uh towering mountains like if you look in the distance here
they seem way bigger like this is probably the largest mountains we've been in Lebanon right baby
yeah so gorgeous they're crazy like you guys look in every direction like the gopro flattens stuff
in the camera so it's probably not gonna look as like grand but like they're huge massive valleys
in the distance beautiful colors like uh let me put this one I'm pretty excited I'm even more
excited for Tannourine then I already was because uh I had no idea really what to expect besides
knowing that it was a mountain town but never did I expect it to be so like grand like this.
Guys and we are arriving to the house right here so we're gonna go ahead and get checked in and
we'll give you guys a tour destination is on the left so guys we just arrived to the place here
and you can already see it's like uh 6:30 almost 7 p.m. and you can see that the sun's already set
on this side of the mountains but you can see some beautiful haze from the sun basically just shining
through the very tips and it is a beautiful spot so here is the guest house we're going
to be staying at and i'm excited to take you guys for a tour of this place because it is picturesque
as you can see I mean look at right above it you can see the mountains towering in the distance
right there this is the petite Gabriel guest house and you can head up to the second floor and visit
the room where we stayed in when you first walk in you have a bathroom on the right switch over here
and you have the bed nice aesthetics and this beautiful balcony with habibti
looking over the mountains all right guys we have just gotten some nice drone shots
he a got cleaned up a bit. My friends I want to make a quick stop from this video about Lebanon
and share with you a very special product that me and my best friend Fouad from Lebanon are working
on and it is the ultimate guide to traveling Lebanon, so if you're considering coming to
Lebanon you might be wondering many different things how do you navigate the country currently?
Where should you go? What should you do about the currency crisis? And the different
rates and how you exchange your money? Can you use ATMs? Where should you eat? Where should you go out?
All of these questions that you might have are things that Fouad and I have experienced
over the last 12 months and we've spent countless hours creating the ultimate guide that's going to
answer all these questions and ensure you have an amazing time when you come and visit this
beautiful country of Lebanon so the guide is going to be available very soon but if you click on the
link in the description below you'll actually be able to go ahead and put your email address down
and then when the guide releases you'll get 15% off because you'll be the first people to receive it
targeting to have it done by the end of this summer because we're still exploring some of
the places as we continue to write this book but I can tell you our hearts and souls have been
poured out into this book to curate the product for you that is going to give you the experiences
that we've had the experiences that have brought me back to Lebanon six times in the last 12 months
so guys definitely check it out in the link in the description below. But uh yeah guys we're gonna
cruise actually up along this road and get us over to Tannourine downtown so we haven't been there yet and
should be a short ride guys like 10 minutes and then yeah maybe we'll find some food walk
around for a few minutes uh yeah guys so we're gonna actually cruise up to the downtown area
and yeah we'll see if we're high enough to see sunset since we're in the mountains
originally when we promised you guys we're going to show you sunset I didn't realize
the angles of the mountains but i can tell you it's still stunning so let's cruise on up there
and see what we get ourselves into in tana rain i gotta i gotta become world know me yeah guys
go and comment on all of her videos say is this world nomade
i'm having a bad hair day so then no it's beautiful hair day
kilion which means every day oh thank you baby so cute yeah guys
as much as you i'm sure you're enjoying the lovey-dovey stuff should we head on up
i think this is the famous church that we're talking about right here [__]
practice in Arabic out there with the locals all right I think we're going to go smell here
turn around
always say hello to the locals my friends oh i don't actually know where we're going in the town
yeah guys so we're cruising through uh this is there's like two i guess villages of Tannourine
and I'm going to tell you what the names of them are in a little bit here because I can't remember
and I'm driving um but we are going to I believe go to the other oh yeah we're at Tannourine altar
and then there's another Tannourine and basically they're like the two village town centres
we actually drove through the other one on our way in but we didn't actually even realize
that that was like uh the other village of Tannourine so we're actually gonna be
cruising about nine minutes away as you can see there uh kind of back the way we came
so we could see those mountains right at sunset way more and then we will uh
hopefully take you guys to get some food here for our first meal in Tannourine.
You guys so Mabelle has located a restaurant here and it's bringing us through a couple twists and
turns yeah what's the name of this place oh one second oh you have to turn here turn left yeah
uh restaurant in nahad which means restaurant on the river yeah the river restaurant the
river restaurant all right oh it looks nice is it straighted to the right here baby probably here
left one second
yeah guys it's so picturesque here we've got the river right next to us it's a little dark
at the moment but yeah it's really nice good find [__] yeah that's cute nice little windy
roads not sure what you do if a car is coming the other way but uh hey you figure that out as
they say you cross that bridge when you get there is this it no i'm guessing it's there
this one the river restaurant we got parking here like parking for one but i think is it
open oh maybe it's just a weekend gig because this looks like it got a nice little bridge over there
oh [__] it's closed no we can park in
you can park and we can check it even if it's closed
generators nice only in Lebanon about generators
well guys looks like uh we're gonna keep trying
guys we made a quick stop at this restaurant but uh I guess it's uh not open it looks like a vibe
though guys there's speakers surrounding it it's kind of dark out looks like they got a little uh
maybe is that an oven or a water fountain bridge across over to the park that's nice
boom guys we just teleported actually back to the guest house oh turn the light on here and
we're just gonna get here the nice part is the Airbnb host totally hooked us up with some fresh
zaatar fresh fruits like I showed you guys before and uh how is it [__] it's really good yeah
yeah my favorite though guys it reminds me of a minutiae i mean
it's pretty much a minutiae except not cooked when you got the bread plus the um
that is fantastic guys but yeah we're just gonna snack enjoy this tonight and then we're
gonna get into a whole bunch of stuff tomorrow since we arrived a little bit late and not so
many of the restaurants are open right now and hopefully by tomorrow i can tell you exactly why
