The ugly truth is that we spend 80% of our time working in order to survive and be able to do what we love in the remaining 20%.
Given all our hard work, we definitely deserve to take a break and have a relaxing Sunday. Here are a few ideas:
1. Get away, unplug, and enjoy.
If you’re willing to dish out some cash for your relaxing weekend, a getaway trip can be a great idea! If you gather a couple of friends and split the room cost, it won’t be that expensive and you’ll be able to enjoy a calm weekend. Check into one of the countless Bed and Breakfasts or a boutique hotel in the outskirts of Beirut and plan an itinerary that avoids the hustle and bustle. You can also plan free things to do!

2. Chill in green spaces.
One of the best ways to disconnect and to recharge is for you to spend some time in open green spaces. Though they are limited in Lebanon, they do exist. You can head to Horsh Beirut, Lebanon’s largest park, and have a picnic, read a book, meditate, or just chill!
There are always cool markets and events happening around the country! Souk El Tayeb is a crowd favorite; you can walk around and buy local produce and snack on delicious bites!
