The Worst 3aj2as in Lebanon, Ranked
Driving in Lebanon is an absolute nightmare, but the worst thing about the experience is getting stuck in the 3aj2a. We’ve ranked them in worsening order, starting with the least painful and ending with the one that almost everyone agrees is Lebanon’s ultimate 3aj2a.
8. Clemenceau–Tal3it Joumblatt
A short stretch that somehow always takes forever. Not the worst, but still annoying to drive through during rush hour.
7. Hamra
Practically gridlocked 24/7. But at least your boss won’t blamed for being late to work because it’s technically not your fault.
6. Jounieh
We’re starting to get close to the top worst 3aj2as. The problem with getting stuck in Jounieh is that it somehow feels really boring compared to the others.
5. Hadath–Kafaat
You’re driving through Hadath, get stuck in traffic, and nearly destroy your car in every pothole that you can’t see because of how much traffic there is. We’re sure 80% of Lebanon’s potholes are in this street.
4. Hazmieh Highway
Peak-hour traffic can bring everything to a standstill. You lose touch with reality. Time is just a concept. Then you just stare at anyone that cuts you off like this:
3. Karantina–Dora Road
Heavy congestion almost any time of day, but rush hour is when everyone starts driving like it’s bumper cars. Do people just not care about their cars anymore?
2. Khalde
Everyone who has to drive through Khalde knows just how bad it is, especially when you get to the jisr. And just when you think you’re in the clear, Salim Slem brings traffic to a halt again.
1. Zouk
No one can argue that this is Lebanon’s most dreaded traffic jam. We don’t even need to explain why.
Do you disagree with this ranking? Let us know where you think has the worst 3aj2a, even though we firmly believe our #1 is the only correct answer.
