First Impressions of Jezzine Lebanon
All right we have arrived to the I Heart Jezzine sign. [__] Jezzine. All right we're gonna see if we can find a coffee shop around here looks like we're right near the tourism office such a chill City and it is a Saturday today so you figured there'd be more people out and about but it's quite quiet can hear the birds chirping. Fouad have you been to the tourism office? I had some friends working over there. And they give you
like recommendations to do stuff in Jezzine yeah there's lots of things to do in Jezzine. Hiking, Trails, camping, good food, waterfalls whatever you want a little bit of everything and it's such an amazing place man yeah it is it's like it's like Hidden Paradise yeah yeah yeah Al Shouf Cedar natural reserve. Oh we got a couple options right along here [__] it means the waterfall oh they're open for coffee. I'm sure they are. All right so we're entering here, Hello [__] All right we're entering into the restaurant of the waterfall so does this mean we can see the waterfall from up here Fouad? [__] Oh look at this place absolutely gorgeous there really gorgeous this is heaven you know the Tik- Tok it is oh and look at this area wow I think we're gonna stay outside oh for sure personally I think we should stay outside yes with the Lebanese recommendation. All right bro let's check out down here what do we got going on can we see oh there's the waterfall right there you can see it going right down the side I believe that's not even the waterfall I was telling you guys about earlier that's just another one here in Jezzine but there's nothing like the sound of running water. Guys I was just talking about the waterfall that I thought was here this like not this exact photo but one of these photos of this waterfall as you can see here instead of scrolling through this was what I thought was Jezzine but I just found out from Fouad that this is actually in Sebhel.
So that just means it'll be in an upcoming video and we won't be showing you this waterfall but trust me at some point we will other than that we have gotten some menus for ice cream so I think it's about time to get a little true [__]. How does that sound? A little ice cream almost like a molten lava cake except with ice cream and a nice hard shell around it that's like that's a must maybe a coffee to chase it down what do you got in mind for ice cream. It's a [__] pudding.[__] pudding it looks like caramel or something oh my God! It's scare. She's vlogger and training though. Yeah I'm training I'm still training still getting used she's got to learn that whenever I'm around whenever you're around me anyone is when I'm Vlogging the camera's probably in your face camera's probably on oh yeah. What should I take guys?
until to this post then you're gonna come back three months hey easy for you oh you're gonna take one so I'll take something else this one okay he decided or this one okay oh no this is very basic oh yeah I don't like basics yeah you gotta keep it exotic. What do you guys got in mind for ice creams no nothing no whoa what who it is holy [ __ ] I think he's got a fever Coco oh Coco oh that's going to be taib and what do we got going on over here exactly the true Fido Bros imagine if they came back and they were like oh no that was just uh for you to not mess up the the table oh they better have this ice cream yeah you can't even joke like that I'll be crying I'm gonna take the cow please it's a toy you can't eat it no Hello I thought it was ice-cream. this water's getting to her say one more time okay [__] oh no you joked around and you were actually right you jinxed it like it didn't make any sense for them to put it because we didn't ask for ice cream so oh I guess it does say Spain's from your ice cream so yeah this is not Lebanese but it does have Lebanese pounds that's so cool I'll take the cow please oh we do have some delicious coffee right here oh yeah fresh and this is the Lebanese way yeah yeah it kind of looks like Turkish coffee or maybe Lebanese coffee looks like Turkish coffee it's Lebanese coffee hey I'm a travel vlogger I have to relate stuff in every country to other countries I've been doesn't mean I'm saying it's better I'm true to Lebanon we've got Malakal coffee pouring them up see if Fouad does any drips there all right that's one down did oh yeah Lebanese coffee better than Turkish coffee it's been said yeah it warms up the whole body how do you guys rate it compared to Australian coffee oh wipe it up way better yeah oh wow all right that's gonna be some fighting words when it gets back home yeah why do you have to ask me that's a diplomatic answer the safe Zone yeah yeah. Fouad? Well Australian coffee is good like they said in my dreams when I was in Australia in my dreams exactly Lebanese coffee is always number one for me always number one it stays true to living in yeah better than Starbucks better than Irish coffee full respect Irish people sorry but nobody's coffee for me it is medicine better than the Patron coffee uh this is decaf Patron oh no sorry Patron is the Lebanese coffee with alcohol there it is All right that was a nice stop for a good cup of coffee actually I ended up having three of them I can tell you I'm feeling wired now so we're gonna head down to these souks so we are walking into the souks here as you can see you got a bunch of different shops all along here but they all have the same design you have the Lebanese architecture you have those really nice doors that pop out with that uh brownish color and just a similar theme like each shop has their own font to kind of make them unique but uh it still all has that similar feeling. Fouad do you know do you know any history with these uh Lebanese
knives right here? Yeah that's the one I told you about these are the ones that you can only get them in Jezzine yeah they're made of horns animal horns oh wow and uh with carvings and stuff it is really unique here it is only made here really yeah wow yeah they look beautiful As you guys can see so if you want to find the best souvenir to take back to your country or to take back to your village here in Lebanon this is where you gotta go for it all right as far would say this is the the Rolls-Royce objects oh wow you can even get a sword here sorry I slay them looks like down here we've got a bunch more shops lots of ice cream in Lebanon that's one thing you'll never not be able to find except that the restaurant we're just at We've got [__] that's also ice cream yeah um but that must be an older shop yeah but I like the outfit yeah yeah it's got that older traditional Lebanese look time to get back and hop in the afternoon we're gonna go for a little Cruise here whoa oh yeah let's get the buggy we're getting them going fire it up and oh there we go oh good luck [__] Fouad tell me a little bit about this place we're cruising through the Foothills yeah and look at the restaurant place this place is full of like uh restaurants like uh how do I say the countryside of Jezzine where the farm like uh Ranch restaurants you know it's a really nice place yeah uh it's called the remedy-Remine. We're heading to uh grab our stuff because we're about to check out from this gorgeous gorgeous place that Max showed to you there we go yeah [__] All right we did a quick clean up we got all of our stuff and now we are cruising up the mountain we got a Fouad taking the uh path of extra resistance oh you guys got the good seats up there yeah VIP section yeah exactly ah well guys it's been a really really nice stay here honestly could have stayed for a couple more days while we were exploring this part of Jezzine yeah great property as you guys can see now yesterday when we were riding whoa that's a tree oh that's a tree too but it's a great property to be able to explore for the last couple days subah ho hello hello whoa we survived it oh yeah I almost got nailed by the tree branches but but we made it so we're still in one piece and we have arrived found a safer way to cruise we just left the uh place and now we're gonna be going to meet Fouad's good friend Anthony from Lebanon we call him Malik al-Jezzine. Yeah he's Legend oh wow so he knows everything about it oh yeah from A to Z well we're gonna have to ask him some serious hard questions about this about this place [__] and then we're getting ice cream yep oh baby that's gonna be good all right so we have made it down back to the center which is to get some ice cream at Bashir key [ __ ] Anthony How are you bro? Hey good and you nice to meet you you guys already know round two coffee here We've got Malik-Al-Jezzine now we had Fouad. Try out the coffee pour there looks like only at the other restaurant can you pull it off perfect material that's it oh oh all right wow even Malik al-Jezzine I'm not sure I'm not much better oh look at that there we go all right we're just making sure the table you have to put it up more and then more down we thing you want me to give it a shot okay and to be fair and hit the water bottle that's why that's why one more try the problem is yeah that's what I meant that one's Mac that's no that's what I tried to do on that one but I hit the water bottle honestly you guys saw that in the camera you saw that in the camera it hit the water bottle proof oh wow I have someone professional definitely girlfriend material Anthony tell us something unique about Jezzine oh Jezzine is a big story to be honest yeah they say it's the Bride of the South the bride the South yeah yeah it's it's a touristic uh place you have you can you can go for a hike you can go for a tourist for a registered the registers yes for uh like churches and uh um at night we have this this life a life night but not like this it's uh you've got a mini Sky Bar yeah yeah yeah if you if you can stay tonight you will see uh people in front of the municipality right okay yeah yeah the one that's and somebody has food stands yeah we saw that last night the drinks everything yeah yeah we drove past last night yeah yeah yeah it looked amazing we didn't make it though I wish we would have gone so you guys heard it from Anthony it's so much to do here in Jezzine I'm loving it honestly I wish we were staying another night but uh that just means we're coming back in a future video. All right looks like we're gonna get some ice cream in here key [__]. All right uh can you ask what flavors uh we've got um
yeah yeah a biscuit we've got all the flavors down there yes chocolate, vanilla . I can see [__] Say hi to the camera. Hi guys making memories you only want Oreo yeah wow guys this is the best ice cream how does that taste [__] [__] All right so let's say Mabelle got at the Lebanese way of course the Lebanese way you gotta get multiple flavors so I'm gonna use that strawberry, pistachio and then Oreo all right it's a bubble vanilla and Oreo.
You got Oreo too Maria? Oreo and [__] What did you got? Pistachio and Oreo. Oh [__] All right well what's making me feel better because he only got one flavor also lemon lemon [__] bro. Oh yeah oh there we go Anthony got Oreo too [__] brother cheers. We finished up some delicious ice cream see you thank you very much bye. All right next up we're gonna go to what's the name of this place so we're gonna get some very very fresh water from Jezzine that comes from uh like a natural spring waterfall yes yep so we're gonna try some of that out and it flows all year round so you can come down there or locals come down here get all their fresh water from there. All right so we're going for a cruise in the bends yeah yeah oh sweet that's my baby oh I love it and we will take this out so we got top down here now this is how you get around Jezzine here we go so this thing's pretty fast bro of course oh yeah let's do it man oh man I love convertibles the best way to go around toss on some music here and we are especially weather yeah yeah perfect weather yeah oh it's close we'll be here all uh tables around all around ah this is the bar right there so that's where Anthony used to work right up there and uh right along that whole area normally there's tables set up there and then that is kind of like the uh Lake right there does this lead right into the waterfall no but the waterfall is right underneath it oh wow foreign.
All right so guys we're actually arriving at the spot right here a lot of the locals are filling up all these big water jugs and then and then basically bringing it back to their homes uh yeah see look at how many they have there all those five gallon water jugs right inside there and then you have this spring uh so it's just that one little hose yeah wow and it's just constantly running at all times so yeah this pipe right here comes from pretty high I'm up here at this point yeah this one right there all the way at the top of the mountain somewhere yeah I don't know where oh wow oh so it's a lake up top it's not like a waterfall that brings it down not the waterfall it's not the lake it's uh the reservoir water comes from somewhere yeah but oh what it comes from nobody can reach it ah nobody can reach it oh we got some huge frogs down there look at them making some serious noise look at that thing oh you guys ready for some fresh water oh you're about to scare me I could hear someone walking behind me I was like something's happening y'all on next time you try it you try it first yeah oh thank you my love. All right so this is how it's done okay [__] oh yeah oh Mabelle [__] okay this is definitely gonna get all of you [__] Go-Pro oh um wow yeah you want me to hold it oh we gotta keep it going oh that is how you cool down in a fresh water spring Jezzine wow oh it feels great actually oh wow We'll add some good water yeah oh what is that some sort of aliens over there in the form of a frog yeah be careful they bite how was it yeah it's good yeah yeah best water you've ever had probably yeah [__] Fouad what's for lunch yeah he's ready for Shawarma. All right we're back in the convertible what do they say top down seat back rolling in my Cadillac Ben's Edition I call her my baby yeah this definitely would be my baby if I had it too sorry uh I mean uh baby you know it's uh it's uh well let's see I forgot what languages yeah exactly she's out of here we're done you guys Anthony's gonna be taking us for a cruise now right after the water spring there's like a road that's kind of along the edge of the mountain here and we're gonna have some incredible views so let's do this all right so I'll put the camera up and take a look at the view from here hopefully you can see it. Yeah I'd say this area definitely gives me the Jezzine uniqueness but you know you got to taste of maybe the shadow Aiden because you got similar Landscapes as you agree or disagree yeah but it definitely looks way different heights wow so this used to be a gas station at some point something and then it became an army checkpoint and you can tell it's seen some days from back in the war there's so many bullet holes in onset or all around the walls of this place and some pretty intense graffiti over there we've got the word [ __ ] written inside there and a lot of other graffiti but it's kind of cool though at the same time where so guys our last stop of this short little Jezzine tour is we're actually going to be cruising down to see the waterfall so we're going down this like long path and it's beautiful because you just have these pine trees that are outlining the road that leads you down and you can kind of see it right now but you have beautiful views coming down into this part of the city of Jezzine.
I feel all right we gotta climb up there all right all right we have entered in which one that's easier all right let's see if my baby can get up of course I can don't fall wow whoa you a dancer or something uh maybe I don't know so we gotta sneak in guys. All right we got Fouad convinced he's coming over too oh you make this look easy bro hey watch out for that barbed wire bro I'm good I'm good you got it all right you can't do it I need to leave the present the man has returned to the prison guys there's the waterfall right there wow yeah it's a small stream right now as a disclaimer I don't necessarily recommend you to hop fences to get to tourist sites like this but we're with the locals so uh we've got locals approval the uh Malik al-Jezzine I'm gonna die there from slipping and we've got a quick little pathway that leads us to this waterfall stunning so as you guys probably can guess this time of the year it's pretty dry so the waterfall is much smaller for those of you have seen photos of this waterfall you'll probably have seen it maybe like from the uh I'd say maybe April time frame because then a lot of the water is melting uh you know from from Winter and uh thank you Mabelle keeping me safe right now because I'm sliding down the Rock still trying to vlog and so yeah guys basically the waterfall can be way-way uh yeah like so much more water will normally be falling but it just depends on the time of year you come so keep that in mind. Fouad you've done this hike before up to the waterfall yeah yeah tell me some facts about it you got to know a couple things. You find Bitcoin over there well in that case let's run [__] uh it's just like uh it catches [__] are certain you remember the village that I told you about it yeah it is a bit like far away from Jezzine yeah so above this Village there are there are mountains over there yeah and the ice melts from those mountains and the water canals and like the geographical rivers yeah all flows through here that makes this waterfall during winter the water is stronger yeah yeah right now you know there's no ice anymore right but the peak is always on spring when the ice freshly melts yeah yeah and uh oh my God! you're out of breath bro yeah yeah don't be falling so you just explain that so much better than I did I was like I think the ice melts at the top of the mountain by the way wow winter we cannot even come close to here wow because it's just too strong oh right here yes we can go a little further shower yeah you're gonna go in yeah hey could the it could uh cool us down a little bit yeah thank you babe wow look at this waterfall unbelievable yeah so Anthony was telling us that when the waterfall is much stronger you can't even get this close because it's spring down and splashing everywhere so it's nice we're able to be able to like actually walk up and see it but it is so Majestic looking at it here from the distance all right guys and that was our last stop sharing with you Jezzine definitely a place we'll be coming back to and I'm really looking forward to it so much to do here so much to see a lot of like hiking that we didn't get a chance to do but once again it's just like the uh I don't know if it's easier but uh it's harder yeah we're uh we're testing the waters here's easier no yeah it's easier oh and we made it down safely yeah maybe that was easier it's nothing makes it look easy thank you so Anthony big thank you so much for showing us around really appreciate it brother I have to thank you guys it's a pleasure to me to meet you oh likewise likewise thank you. So yeah guys that's where we're gonna end this video really hope you've enjoyed it and we'll be sharing with you another trip another video tomorrow where we head down to sewer the southern part of Lebanon and I actually have been there once before but I didn't make a video so it'll be fun to be back there and share some content with you guys so really hope you've enjoyed this one if you have make sure that like button if you want more videos both here as well as all around the world hit that subscribe button and I'll see you guys in tomorrow's video.
