It’s been a long week, and we’re only one day away from the weekend. This is why we conjured up a list of 7 foolproof ways to de-stress in Beirut so that you’re all set for the weekend.<\/p>

Chances are, you’ll run into quite a few dogs while in Badaro. Saying “hello” and watching them wag their tails in acknowledgment is enough to solve 99% of our problems. But don’t be that dog owner who pulls the dog away, you’re denying us our happiness.<\/p>

2. Visit Hachichit Alb\u00e9<\/a> for a cup of tea to brighten up your mood<\/strong><\/h4>
