@@The_NSeven yes that is the case sometimes but Lebanon is not one of those countries. For a country that's neighbor with another that has destroyed it many times and invaded it Lebanon does very well for itself.
@@The_NSeven will the Middle East in the area as a whole can be dangerous at times seeing that Lebanon again is Neighbors with some dangerous countries I don't condemn the US government for being cautious of its citizens going down but straight up telling them not to go does seem rather ignorant. But I find it hypocritical iy never tells its citizens not to go down to Israel or Saudi Arabia while Lebanon is on that list. Like Lebanon isn't currently at War like Israel LOL
@@hodzal5258 I agree. I don't live in the us, so I don't really know what they say about it, but being on the internet you obviously get exposed to it, but I remember watching a (German) guy walk through Iran and it made me fall in love with the country, the food, the architecture and the people. But then you hear about the us saying it's a terrible place, a bad place etc and I think that's really sad. I don't follow Iran politically, so I don't know that much about how they work, but I really do think it's a beautiful country, like a lot of its neighbors and close by countries. I hope some of the conflicts in those countries end, so the world can see how cool of a place it actually is.
Thank you for putting Lebanon in such a positive light, it is such a beautiful country with so much to see!! I think I can speak for all us Lebanese people when we say thank you and we’re glad you enjoyed your trip! Love you!

well no they didnt say dont go there they said they dont recomneded it also 3 us rating is ok for the middle east but why 3 ik thats not bad but 1st the last time isis did anything to lebanon was in like or kill anyone in lebanon was in 2015 or 2014 the war ended 25 years ago nice ppl and alout of the population like 30 or 35 percent is not muslim its not only muslim hell the president is christian idk man seems unfair
A lot of us do! Still a lot of good people as well in the US but sadly all the corruption and fear hides that part :( Most americans are kinda bums but there's a lot of good people too! just like anyhwere :)

Agreed on the number of countries where corruption occurs. But only the very blatant cases should stop you from visiting, eg. where police stops you at gun point for a little 'contribution'. Cases where eg. companies are funding election funds and are expecting a little 'leaniency' in return don't really concern a visitor.

I love how you didn’t just stay in Beirut or Ashrafiyeh and said “I visited Lebanon” you actually went to not very known places (for ppl outside of Lebanon) and that’s why I love you
@Mahdi Kassem those are mountains 3000m above sea levels and its covered in snow for most of the year so no plant can live in those conditions but its not a desert

Middle east is just as good as every other place to visit on earth the problem is that it's not like any other place to stay in (its not the best for living)
I'm a college student from the USA studying abroad in Beirut this fall for 4 months, and let me tell you, Lebanon is the MOST fun I've ever had traveling. The city is awesome, the people are amazing and the scenery is first class. While you def hyped up the risk factor here, thanks for making a video shedding light on this amazing place.
I’m Canadian. There are many people originally from Lebanon who live where I live. They are all great people. I didn’t know people feared Lebanon that much.
Right? I know nothing about Lebanon, but just by looking at the map and looking at the flag you can tell it's historically been more foresty than anything hahaha
@@paru-chinbaka5214 yes i Can agree my family is from Lebanon but I’m from Germany Lebanon is the only medal eastern country that doesn’t have any desserts that’s so cool and you can go skiing and go to the beach at the same day that’s really cool !! I love my country
@Resistance 313 No, I'm Lebanese I can confirm there is no desert. Lots of snow though. The mountains may seem desert like in summer because they're so high that it's above the tree line
All news - and especially that made by large, powerful entities (corporations, governments, etc.) - has some level of bias and can end up as propaganda of one kind or another.
As a lebanese person, i go to lebanon every year to see my family. I live in the U.S. and lebanon is such a beautiful place. I really hate how people stereotype lebanese people for "terorists". Like all because im from a place in the middle east doesnt mean im a terrorist.
Why would anyone care about what they say,don't tell everyone's is an angel and wr the demons here,we are whatever we are and they should shut tf up,just ignore those loosers who talk shit,yeah and im lebanese and proud of all of us❤❤
Im Lebanese and I live in the Czech republic and i visit my relatives in Lebanon every year. I get hate qbout being a terrorist aswell but I have good friend that actually think about me as a person
The Green Eyed View I’m Albanian and live in USA movies portray albanians as gang members or terrorists and I wish more people knew about how good ALBANIA is just because Albania wasn’t friends with America in 1990 or they had war there doesn’t mean it’s bad now
This just showed up in my recommendations and I wasn't sure why, but I gained something from this video. I love your perspective on life and I'm excited for you and your future. Lebanon looks absolutely beautiful & I appreciate you highlighting the best parts of your trip! So amazing.
Lebanon is safe, but other countries want their people to see the opposite. Please make more videos here in Lebanon to show everyone the beauty of it and make them change their minds and know the truth❤️🇱🇧
Lebanon was considered dangerous for a damned good reason for quite awhile. But reversing the negative image is a lot harder than the constant parroting of decade old facts that no longer apply beoynd the occasional Israeli terror bombing.
This kind of makes me emotional.. seeing someone from a society that judges us mainly because of what happens here, makes me think of how much i have misjudged my own country. I moved back to lebanon 4 years ago and i was so excited to do so but then again i didnt get to go on adventures and explore it right, and i failed to see just how amazing it actually is to stay in such a place! Your video just made me tear up and let me just tell you one thing... the world needs more people like you❤
"Habibi" we are so proud to have you here in our country and really liked that you have discovered what we truly are besides what is mentioned in the news and don’t forget that we have some advanced places mainly in Downtown and Achrafieh places keep on coming ! Enjoy #traveling
EYYY welcomeee to our beautiful country! If you need recommendations of places to visit I'm sure every Lebanese person in the comment section will gladly help!
Luke I like the new format of surprise pop-up travel. Stick with it and remember to stay safe. You know the risks you are taking taking just keep your eyes open.
ahh this made me so happy, it's nice to see that there are still people who don't judge and go see for themselves! Love your videos man, keep up the good work
Im Lebanese born and raised and often encounter this problem with foreigners who dont know or dont see the beauty of this country mainly cause of the false media . Thank you so much for opening people's eyes and showing them the true beauty of this country . Ps: there are still a lot of places you couldve visited that would've blown your mind
Angel Above but not all Americans think like that because some actual want to travel the world and studying more or but then again the terminology of American is a bit confusing because once some one around the world go to America they live there for who know how know long and just get labeled as American . That’s like a Japanese person going to America to live the American lifestyle when it’s actually all cultures that live there .🌸 everyone literary lives here .
Okay so 4 things 1- THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY AS A LEBANESE PERSON 2-the only really dangerous thing there is how much food people will give u and the possibility to gain 3 kilos in a week lol 3-lebanon is deeeeefinetly NOT a desert lmaooo i didn't even know people thought that 4- it snows a loooot there in winter
I am from lebanon and I appreciate you letting go of your fear that was just an illusion. Even though lebanon is in a tough time but we will find a way to strive and show the world who we are.
UniverseStars Stars did u really understand what I said I didn’t even mention snowing in a desert I know that i snows in deserts but what I’m saying is that lebanon has no deserts at all and he was surprised that it snows in lebanon it’s right that it’s summer but in lebanon it even snows next to the beach sometimes and it gets really cold what I’m saying is that lebanon has a difference environment comparing to the Middle Eastern countries
UniverseStars Stars no it doesn’t. There is No desert in Lebanon. It’s mostly mountains and the mountains of Lebanon and the cedar of Lebanon are mentioned in the Holly bible more than 72 times.
This is amazing. My great grandfather was born in Lebanon and I’ve always wanted to visit. I have friends from Jordan and just the pictures of that place in the world.. beautiful!!
From someone that lives in Lebanon: This is probably one of the safest places in the middle east. And I'm so happy that someone like you exist in America. Another thing: 2:58 Lebanon is the only Arabic country that does not have a single desert anywhere in it. :P Also, we have like 15 rivers
Lebanon is such a beautiful country and there’s much much more to explore.. Too bad the media’s not showing it.. Thanks for lighting that up! New subscriber here 💯
Been watching you for years from Lebanon, and so happy that you visited and enjoyed the country, we still have plenty of amazing beautiful places that you can discover. Hope you enjoyed your stay to the max!😃🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
Lynn Assi the cities are very dirty and the expansion towards the mountains is ruining the landscape. Been there at many points in my life and it has been worse every time.
@@roloxrox123 That's true, when we built our house none was surrounding us and we had a wonderful view, nowadays we can't even look at the valley because of some new buildings. But how can we avoid it? We have a small country.
@Tia Pewdiepie lover XD rawr :3 Rabbit Island exists yes, I don't know any other ones. It had been closed down for a while (maintenance) but they recently re-opened it.
Tia Pewdiepie lover XD rawr :3 oh yeah I’m sorry you are right some other islands are there other than that I haven’t I forgot also when I was 12 years old I visited that but because you don’t hear much about them nor they are much protected and their average for tourist soon so that’s why I don’t consider them there but one thing for sure Libanon is a very nice resourceful country with a really beautiful culture and the nicest people only if the government takes care of the country more and it would be much less what is the girl problems then I’m pretty sure Livon would go back to the days where it used to be the bus to this country is before DubaiWas it ever been known

I’m lebanese and I’m so proud watching this video! A lot of people sometimes underestimate the beauty of Lebanon but i love it!! Thank you for proving that lebanon is not much of a failure i love this video!!
i met two lebanese athletes during my time as a short-term intern in the 2017 universiade in taipei. they missed the last bus to the athletes village so i helped them communicate with the staff there by translating between english and mandarin. while waiting for the cab to arrive, we talked a bit and got to know one another; and i can say that they were very kind and great people.

us americans think the middle east is just desert 😂 we’re sorry for the ignorance
OH MY GOSH HES BACK
your videos are literally the best
As a lebanese person, i go to lebanon every year to see my family. I live in the U.S. and lebanon is such a beautiful place. I really hate how people stereotype lebanese people for "terorists". Like all because im from a place in the middle east doesnt mean im a terrorist.
Facts I am lebanese all the words you said are facts
انا لبناني ❤️
Why would anyone care about what they say,don't tell everyone's is an angel and wr the demons here,we are whatever we are and they should shut tf up,just ignore those loosers who talk shit,yeah and im lebanese and proud of all of us❤❤
Im Lebanese and I live in the Czech republic and i visit my relatives in Lebanon every year. I get hate qbout being a terrorist aswell but I have good friend that actually think about me as a person
The Green Eyed View I’m Albanian and live in USA movies portray albanians as gang members or terrorists and I wish more people knew about how good ALBANIA is just because Albania wasn’t friends with America in 1990 or they had war there doesn’t mean it’s bad now
as a US citizen who's lived in lebanon for 5 years, i can't even say i'm a us citizen with pride anymore at this point
Interesting. Why is that?
Usa is a racsit shit hole thats why

I don’t get why most of his videos don’t get millions of views.
He is a good youtuber and a nice guy.

@@mariebelibrahim5584 hey I'm lebanese
This just showed up in my recommendations and I wasn't sure why, but I gained something from this video. I love your perspective on life and I'm excited for you and your future. Lebanon looks absolutely beautiful & I appreciate you highlighting the best parts of your trip! So amazing.
Lebanon is safe, but other countries want their people to see the opposite. Please make more videos here in Lebanon to show everyone the beauty of it and make them change their minds and know the truth❤️🇱🇧
Lebanon was considered dangerous for a damned good reason for quite awhile. But reversing the negative image is a lot harder than the constant parroting of decade old facts that no longer apply beoynd the occasional Israeli terror bombing.
Gio Abboud eh wle

I’m from Lebanon and seeing this video made my day and made me very happy. Thank you for making a video like this :)
StevenElkaakati I’m Lebanese too living in the US I loved this video !! So inspiring I’m sure he will visit it again !!
This kind of makes me emotional.. seeing someone from a society that judges us mainly because of what happens here, makes me think of how much i have misjudged my own country. I moved back to lebanon 4 years ago and i was so excited to do so but then again i didnt get to go on adventures and explore it right, and i failed to see just how amazing it actually is to stay in such a place!
Your video just made me tear up and let me just tell you one thing... the world needs more people like you❤
"Habibi" we are so proud to have you here in our country and really liked that you have discovered what we truly are besides what is mentioned in the news and don’t forget that we have some advanced places mainly in Downtown and Achrafieh places keep on coming ! Enjoy #traveling
“America is safe” lolololol
Safer than the US...
I felt very safe. ✌🇦🇺
Well, if you don't go to school or college, which is were most of the shootings happen, you are relatively safe in the US. :)
bhu nji obviously 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LoL

YOU'RE WELCOME HERE
You will have fun bro
You're gonna enjoy this
EYYY welcomeee to our beautiful country! If you need recommendations of places to visit I'm sure every Lebanese person in the comment section will gladly help!
Liar lol
Luke I like the new format of surprise pop-up travel. Stick with it and remember to stay safe. You know the risks you are taking taking just keep your eyes open.
I was in Lebanon for almost 2 months this summer and it’s hella chill😂
ahh this made me so happy, it's nice to see that there are still people who don't judge and go see for themselves! Love your videos man, keep up the good work
you did a lot of cheap stuff before so now you can treat yourself!
Guylian Viaene lowkey checked out your channel and subbed haha i love the hat video!
Im Lebanese born and raised and often encounter this problem with foreigners who dont know or dont see the beauty of this country mainly cause of the false media . Thank you so much for opening people's eyes and showing them the true beauty of this country .
Ps: there are still a lot of places you couldve visited that would've blown your mind
anyone watching this while the revolution is happening? I'm not crying, you are.

Truly a great and inspiring video. ALL THE LOVE FROM LEBANESE PEOPLE!!
Americans be thinking Middle East is just a desert 🤦🏻♀️
Angel Above Lebanon doesn't even have desert
Angel Above but not all Americans think like that because some actual want to travel the world and studying more or but then again the terminology of American is a bit confusing because once some one around the world go to America they live there for who know how know long and just get labeled as American . That’s like a Japanese person going to America to live the American lifestyle when it’s actually all cultures that live there .🌸 everyone literary lives here .
I saw a picture of Greece and what a desert.
America thinks the middle east is just oil
They think all Africans are black too, so.. 😂
I’m going to lebanon in a week and it’s my 3rd time beautiful country
lovely to have y'all we got a LOT of tourists around lol the news is complete BS wtf
IM LEBANESE WOOOWWW
Welcome
Pls do LGBTQ pride parade. Much love xx
Nikkei Pvck there are LGBTQ people there, all welcome!
Okay so 4 things
1- THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY AS A LEBANESE PERSON
2-the only really dangerous thing there is how much food people will give u and the possibility to gain 3 kilos in a week lol
3-lebanon is deeeeefinetly NOT a desert lmaooo i didn't even know people thought that
4- it snows a loooot there in winter
Does it snow that much?
Idberf Zif yeppp

THE LEBANESE REVOLUTION 👍👍
Thnk you for showing the world. The beauty of my country 👍👌
Damn Lebanon is beautiful
Lebanon is not a desert its full of trees And Grass and forests a small part is a desert and it really snow in Lebanon too much
There is no desert in lebanon .
There s no desert at all
Lebanon is the only country in the middle east with no deserts
Lebanon and deserts? I don't think so. But, I left before the snow, sadly
there is no desert here
I am from lebanon and I appreciate you letting go of your fear that was just an illusion. Even though lebanon is in a tough time but we will find a way to strive and show the world who we are.
Just to let you know we DONT have a desert in Lebanon, so u can correct you phrase now habibi
Where in Lebanon is 3:04?

There’s no desert in lebanon and it always snows it gets really cold in winter
It does snow on deserted environments too, you know..
UniverseStars Stars did u really understand what I said I didn’t even mention snowing in a desert I know that i snows in deserts but what I’m saying is that lebanon has no deserts at all and he was surprised that it snows in lebanon it’s right that it’s summer but in lebanon it even snows next to the beach sometimes and it gets really cold what I’m saying is that lebanon has a difference environment comparing to the Middle Eastern countries
UniverseStars Stars
no it doesn’t. There is No desert in Lebanon. It’s mostly mountains and the mountains of Lebanon and the cedar of Lebanon are mentioned in the Holly bible more than 72 times.
Weird because Cyprus, Malta and Sicily are in the same relative neighbourhood and the climate changes drastically from Sicily and Malta to Lebanon
How cold?
Clearly need to meet Luke and get him to promise to visit, cause it works surprisingly well apparently 😂
The advantage that us Lebanese have is that we can go skiing and swimming in half a day
and yet no one has ever done that...like ever!
Joe Khoueiry I’ve done that when I visited Lebanon 🇱🇧
Yesssssssssirrrrrrr
I am from Lebanon and I talk arabic
@@HugeStar lol same, what else would u speak
I’m Lebanese. I mean the country is great (except for the driving). It is safe. Don’t worry
If you tell Luke to go to North Korea he will.
...and come back in a body bag?
You can visit North Korea on guided tours.
B V Americans can not. It’s a more strict ban, travel companies will not allow Americans on tours
can anybody say Otto Warmbier!????
If you tell Luke not to go to North Korea he will.
The storytelling is ON POINT. Fantastic as always, Luke!!
This is amazing. My great grandfather was born in Lebanon and I’ve always wanted to visit. I have friends from Jordan and just the pictures of that place in the world.. beautiful!!
From someone that lives in Lebanon: This is probably one of the safest places in the middle east. And I'm so happy that someone like you exist in America.
Another thing: 2:58 Lebanon is the only Arabic country that does not have a single desert anywhere in it. :P
Also, we have like 15 rivers
I'm so happy you enjoyed visiting our country. It honestly melts my heart. >.
Where in Lebanon is 3:04?
i live in the us but i visit leb every other summer and this summer we actually went to the highest peek! crazy
Luke going to visit his friends 2 years later is actually me💀😂
Lebanon is such a beautiful country and there’s much much more to explore..
Too bad the media’s not showing it..

This is the most beautiful description of Lebanon, love it and proud ❤️
Anybody else Lebanese? :3 I’ve been to Lebanon so many times and it’s sad that people jump to these negative conclusions about it :(
Lebanese, but sadly, my view of the life here isn't as bright as this.
Lynn Assi the cities are very dirty and the expansion towards the mountains is ruining the landscape. Been there at many points in my life and it has been worse every time.
@@roloxrox123 That's true, when we built our house none was surrounding us and we had a wonderful view, nowadays we can't even look at the valley because of some new buildings. But how can we avoid it? We have a small country.
@@roloxrox123 sadly you are right

Bro my parents are Lebanese, I've visited Lebanon a few times, and it has islands?!?!?
Tia Pewdiepie lover XD rawr :3 not a single one I’m Lebanese but it has allot of sea views and mountains
@Tia Pewdiepie lover XD rawr :3 Rabbit Island exists yes,
I don't know any other ones.
It had been closed down for a while (maintenance) but they recently re-opened it.
@Tia Pewdiepie lover XD rawr :3 I am :) Awesome!
Tia Pewdiepie lover XD rawr :3 oh yeah I’m sorry you are right some other islands are there other than that I haven’t I forgot also when I was 12 years old I visited that but because you don’t hear much about them nor they are much protected and their average for tourist soon so that’s why I don’t consider them there but one thing for sure Libanon is a very nice resourceful country with a really beautiful culture and the nicest people only if the government takes care of the country more and it would be much less what is the girl problems then I’m pretty sure Livon would go back to the days where it used to be the bus to this country is before DubaiWas it ever been known
Tbh i didnt have any idea we had an islands
Luke you won, and you are the hero. Thanks for sharing your beautiful experience of my country with the world
this was such a short but beautiful “film” that i almost cried
I am so proud to be a Lebanese omg I'm gonna cry🥺😍🇱🇧
Lebanon is a very beautiful place yes it has many negatives things because of our politician but it has also many positive things like you saw in this videos tysm Luke I am so happy that you did this video I subscribed ❤❤❤
With your talent, and articulation and love of travel, you are the perfect fit for National Geographic
i lived in Lebanon for 6 months last year and it's such a unique country, i miss it so much
Just discovered your channel recently and I have been loving the content. I love the poetic, philosophical thought, with your random sense of humor mixed in. Excellent story-telling.
Omg, I love the way you tell your stories in every video, You are a great storyteller and that right there is a talent. I am inspired every time I hear or watch your videos. I want to visit Lebanon Thanks to you!!

as a lebanese person i love how much good stuff u said about lebanon
I love Lebanon!! From Jordan Cheeers 😍
I’m lebanese and I’m so proud watching this video! A lot of people sometimes underestimate the beauty of Lebanon but i love it!! Thank you for proving that lebanon is not much of a failure i love this video!!
i met two lebanese athletes during my time as a short-term intern in the 2017 universiade in taipei. they missed the last bus to the athletes village so i helped them communicate with the staff there by translating between english and mandarin. while waiting for the cab to arrive, we talked a bit and got to know one another; and i can say that they were very kind and great people.
thx mate actually made me happy to see u enjoy our beloved country Lebanon
Lebanon is one of the countries I wish to visit beside Morocco and Egypt.
Try Jordan too
R.J Ley Said i live in lebanon😂
Im in lebanon trust me dont visit lol there is enough traffic to make a completely safe driver crash into another
Egypt is nice but lot of kidnappings and robbings if you are not safe at night and a lot of stray dogs,carry. Tazer or something,
Woah, why is everyone saying Egypt is not safe? It's not the safest country ik, Buuutt, just don't go to shady places and your all good lol!
I'm from Lebanon and I can tell you they are the most amazing people you'll find😄
