Go North

One city’s woes is another city’s bliss..

Getting jiggy in Batroun

Beirut has always been the destination of Lebanese party animals everywhere. Clubbers used to look forward to the weekend to satisfy their cravings for dancing and schmoozing in the Ibiza of the Arab world.

But now that Beirut is bogged down in demonstrations and insecurity, does that mean the Lebanese will mellow down, pack their mini skirts and wait it up? Off course not! According to Assafir, everyone, including Beirutis and southerners are now heading to the northern city of Batroun, a historic port city ( pictures ) that is experiencing a boom never seen before in the entertainment and tourism sector. Crepaway is one of the latest franchises to open an outlet there and many more are coming.

So until Saad Hariri and Nabih Berri finish talking this crisis through, the Lebanese keep on partying, just a bit up North.
