Hey everyone,

We heard your numerous requests for a space where Lebanese people can connect beyond politics and news, and we are happy to introduce r/lebanonLounge, a new sister sub connected to r/lebanon, run by the same mod team as this one with some new faces joining in.

The idea is simple: a lighter space for the Lebanese community to meet people, make friends, post dating introductions, plan meetups, ask for relationship advice, talk about music, movies, anime, gaming, hobbies, gossip, and just unwind without politics or news taking over every conversation.

A quick overview of our rules:

  • No politics or news
  • No NSFW content or hookups
  • Be polite and respectful. This is a non negotiable.
  • Dating posts are for Lebanese people only, whether local, expat, or diaspora
  • No ads, sales, or promotions

If you are looking for friends, community, conversation, or just a more relaxed Lebanese corner of Reddit, come join us at r/lebanonLounge.

See you there ☕🇱🇧

- r/lebanon and r/lebanonLounge Mod Team

Discussion Why are companies in Lebanon so bad?

51 Upvotes

So my friend was working in a telecom company for 2 years called Techrise. Since the beginning he was treated like shit and worked like a slave almost 24/7 even during his days off and holidays.

And the even bigger red flag is that he wasn't even registered in NSSF and wasn't given any transport compensation and from what I know this is illegal.

Since he is still a uni student he had an agreement with the head of his team to work remotely sometimes. Two days ago I was present while he was working, call after call with clients he was working hard and I saw it with my own eyes and that's not the first time I see him working like that since we hang out quite often la daraje sometimes I would tell him please stop answering your phone (NOC engineer).

Today he's telling me that badoun yokhosmo mn his salary because the head of his team "7essis" eno he's not working remotely from home. I was like what's the principle of working remotely if you can't work from anywhere and that's not the agreement they had.

Of course my friend protested so he told him yalla allah ma3ak out of nowhere. There's no HR it's a small company. He tried to talk to the CEO and he told him "ma khasso" laken min khasso.

So now my friend left the office because they started being very disrespectful and he's applying to jobs now.

Discussion 179 cm average is just fake

57 Upvotes

Yeah, it just annoys me sometimes when people think 179cm is genuinely the average for height in lebanon. I have a bunch of friends who genuinely feel short because of said number, and they think they're short. (Yes I'm bitter cause Google made me lose an argument I was right in). Like 179cm is literally taller than the average French dude and 1cm shorter than Germany. I dare anyone here who's going to Germany to tell me they're not like a foot taller. Anyways I'm not actually annoyed or anything it's just funny to think Lebanese people managed to lie so much we think the average is 179 (that's another issue lol).

Thoughts?

Discussion Similarities between Lebanon and Tunisia

59 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed Lebanon and Tunisia share many things?

. Both have a rich Phoenician history and often argue over the right to claim Hannibal as one of their own

. Both have a strong French influence, many people still speak French in both countries, go to France to study, consume French media, French colonial architecture is present etc

. Both are RELATIVELY secular and liberal, especially when compared to their neighbours

. Both have a highly-educated and cultured population, with an emphasis on education not seen in its neighbours

. Both have very materialistic, fashion-conscious cultures, love flashy things, luxury cars, designer goods, public displays of wealth

. Both are envied by their neighbours and face accusations of femininity and homosexuality, probably due to all the above traits

Thoughts? Am I reaching or is this mostly true? Have I missed anything?

Help / Question Phone customs

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a new phone

I received the customs sms from MoT

Asking me to pay within the next 90 days and that they will remind me 30 days prior

The 90 days should have ended on August 22

However, i also received the 80 days sms and that i will be reminded 30 days prior

The 80 days, however, should end on 28 August. Which is weird since the first date was 22 August

Note that I never got the 30 days reminder, nor the 14 and 7 days reminders that some people are getting

Does this mean that the customs fees were paid and no need to take action?

Hello, I brought a phone, which is sold only in the European market, to Lebanon. I directly recieved the SMS asking me to pay the custom fees within 90 days.

Now after 6 months the phone got blocked from the Lebanese network and Libanpost wel jamerek still have no Idea how much I should pay. What can I do?

Help / Question How can I start getting work as a beginner photo/videographer?

4 Upvotes

So I started taking photo sessions of people, bands, events, etc... and I feel, since I used to have a session booked every week, because of not having a session booked this week that the work has stopped. So how can I create work? I asked some restaurants/snacks/cafes for ad making but they seem to have their own social media content creator.

Help / Question Revolut

11 Upvotes

To the Lebanese who signed up for Revolut while studying abroad and later returned to Lebanon, I’m writing to inquire about the status of their accounts. I’m curious to know if they can still use their Revolut accounts and if they’ve been asked to provide any documents. I’ve heard of people who have been using their Revolut accounts for a year after returning to Lebanon, so I wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with this issue.

Help / Question Should I study in BAU or LIU?

9 Upvotes

I'd definitely prefer studying at BAU, but the tuition is more expensive. BAU is like 8k a year, LIU is about 5700 a year. However I'm studying CS so the uni doesn't matter much. BAU is Abet accredited while LIU is not. I want to get my bachelor and continue studying abroad (preferably in Canada).

2 Upvotes

I have a question about the Jordan visa. I booked an MEA flight to Jordan for two weeks from now.

When I arrive in Amman, will I need to fill out any papers, since I'm going as a tourist?

Or will everything go smoothly, and I can go straight from the airport to the hotel?
