The video is awesome and reflects most of the touristic and amazing places we have in Lebanon. However the part related to dancing is annoying because it will give an image to tourists to come to Lebanon in order to go to pubs and night clubs. Many arab tourists from the gulf come to Lebanon just to enjoy their time in these pubs and believe me they don’t care about all of the touristic places nor Lebanese architecture and society. I would have preferred to see the same video without the dancing part.
It was a great film made by a talented guy who loved his time in Lebanon. He filmed the stuff that he loved and enjoyed – don’t forget this was not an MoT sponsored film so if he wants to include dancing and party girls, why not? It’s not as if it doesn’t exist.
Plus, I can pretty much guarantee that people would come to Lebanon to party with or without promotional videos.
You can’t show something and hide the other Wael. This video shows what we actually have. I think it’s perfect, great job Wissam
very nice footage but i Agree with Wael.
I would remove the party scenes and all the sexy chicks.
it became so cliche and we had enough with Lebanese bragging about their night life. it’s not like we invented it or something.(plus i think it’s so fake and has no charm)
night life exists in every country in the world and for those who thinks that Lebanon is the best, they probably didn’t travel much.
Music choice could have been better.
i come for jihad
The quality of the video is superb. The night life scenes are a reflection of Lebanon and should be showcased, however, they were showcased more than once for an extended period of time.This extra footage could have been replaced with Baalbeck, jeitta Grotto, Sidon, Anjar,Bekaa valley, Zahle,Skiing, casino .. reconstructed downtown Beirut..
Hey guys!
First of all thank you to the moderator of this blog for sharing my work.
I just wanted to say that I know that there is so much more to Lebanon other than whats in my video.
The fact is I made this a passion project I funded and shot in 3 days by myself during my 10 day stay.
I would love to film all the places mentioned above but getting permits to film such places in Lebanon can be very hard.
Hopefully I can get another chance with more time and access in the future.
Thank you all for your kind words. They mean more than you can imagine!
Regards,
Wissam Adballah
Thank you Wissam and hope to see more videos from you about Lebanon.
Thanks Wissam for the spectacular video. I’ve already watched it like 4 times. Loved it!
Great start really, I would highly recommend you for the Minister of Tourism post for the people’s government in exile!
