11 Things Your Lebanese Parents Love To Do Each Summer

Although summer is not officially here, we do not respect binary time and “science,” and instead follow our own seasonal vibe schedule. If you’re like us, and are lucky enough to have a pair of Lebanese parents at your neck, you’ll definitely relate to these 11 things they love to do when the long sunny days arrive.

1. Bateekh time!

Summer doesn’t really start until this watermelon bad boy smake it through the door. Paired with jebne for maximum pleasure.

2. Let’s go for a family vacation

Whether you’re going to Europe, Turkey, or 3al day3a, you will definitely relate to these 12 family vacation memories.

3. Alternatively, time to be very lazy

No one is getting up before 2:00 PM on a Sunday, and your asses are definitely not ticking off these 50+ places off your summer bucket list.

4. The curfew is somewhat loosened

Well you’re all waking up 2:00 so… but also what’s the rationale for the difference between a summer and winter night?

5. But don’t get any ideas about your wardrobe

Fi hawa lyom please khedo jacket ma3kon.

6. Can you believe these beach entry prices?

Last year it was 200k, now it’s $20? Lek shu 3am ya3emlo feena emsho khalas.

7. Leh ma 3am tedros?

It’s summer…and I graduated 6 years ago…

8. Time for some mashewe!

Why would you subject yourself to hot coals on a hot Sunday morning? I’ll eat it though.

9. No cold water for you

Cold water makes you sick! Saf2et hawa, cough cough, etc.

10. Ba3ed ma sar badda AC wallah

Dad, you have a bucket next to your bed…

11. Ouff keef deghre kholset el sayfiye

Longest 3 months of my life.
