Here is a list of some of my favorite experiences in Beirut: 1- Take a walk in Achrafieh. Walk down the memory lane of one of Beirut’s oldest districts. Admire the beautiful European feel architecture and elegant neighborhoods in Achrafieh. In my last visit to Beirut I stayed in Sofitel hotel in Achrafieh. The location of the hotel was perfect for […]

Salalah – An oasis in the Arabian desert
It was a quick decision I just couldn’t postpone seeing Salalah and Oman any further. With a quick research I found the best ticket deal on Qatar airways. It was the best choice in terms of convenience and transit time. Gathering Q-miles loyalty points is also a plus. It was just me, a weekender bag, a book and […]

A day trip to Sintra
I love using Instagram for travel inspiration. When I was in Lisbon earlier this year I checked Lisbon’s hashtag to plan my trip.

I took a taxi from […]

First day in Lisbon

Meat Co.
Regardless of how many new steak houses opening up in Bahrain, I don’t think any of them stand a chance to take over Meat co’s place as the most popular destination for meat lovers in the island. I visited The Meat company (Meat Co.) with my friend Reem for dinner last Monday. It was good to see the place so lively filled […]
Egypt – Um Al Donya –
Commonly known to all Arabs as Um AlDonya (mother of the world) is one of the oldest civilizations that is Egypt. I visited Egypt last summer for the first time in my life. Some countries don’t need any introduction and Egypt is definitely one of them. I grew up highly influenced by Egyptian culture. Egyptian TV […]
