This is probably going to burst the bubble of so money people who talk big about Lebanon and Beirut being the best places in the world.
In a recent study published yesterday by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Beirut was ranked 117th most competitive global city in the world, barely managing to come ahead of the bottom 3 cities, Dhaka (Bangladesh), Lagos (Nigeria), and Tehran (Iran), taking into consideration 8 key factors that are Economic strength, Physical capital, Financial maturity, Institutional effectiveness, Social and cultural character, Human Capital, Environment and natural hazards, and Global appeal.
New York ranked 1st worldwide followed by London and Singapore, while with regards to the Middle East, Dubai unsurprisingly ranked 1st followed by Abu Dhabi, Doha, Tel Aviv, Kuwait City, Muscat, Riyadh, Beirut and Tehran.

Deep down inside each and every one of us knew this, Beirut is only good for nightlife, and is the worst when it comes to scioeconomic ranking.
Night Life ???? seriously ZuZ ???
ever checked las vegas or ibiza or barcalone or Ayia napa or Budapest or NY or LA or or or ….
what makes u said that Beirut could be a great city and lebanon could be a great country, Dubai was a fu*in desert 10 years ago!! Lebanon has the resources but the people lack the eduction and the wisdom!
its all about showoff, stereotyping and living a fake life full of ego and greed!
Infested country, infested people.. worth sh*t desrves to be burnt.
someone looks like they have too much anger towards us. maybe cuz they have nothing good in their country? 😀
