AUB Sets a Guinness World Record By Creating The Largest Mosaic Flag

A group of students at the American University of Beirut set a Guinness world record in a project called “Share the Flag” by creating the largest notebook mosaic flag made of 60,000 notebook that were placed in the green field.

The event took place few days ago on May 9th and it took them around 24 hours to make it possible. Moreover, as a tribute to the Lebanese Army, the son of martyr Colonel Danny Harb (Rayan Harb), completed the Lebanese flag by placing the last red notebook.

The best part about the whole thing though was donating all of the notebooks that were used to create the Lebanese flag to a large number of public schools in Lebanon. It may sound insignificant to some but needful families will definitely appreciate any contribution to their kids education no matter how small it is.

Check out this time-lapse video showing how they did it.

Ziad Rahbani to Perform at The Grand Opening of Beiteddine Art Festival

Beiteddine festival is taking place this year from July 12th till August 15th, and Ziad Rahbani will be opening it with a couple of concerts on July 12th and 13th.

According to the Beiteddine.org, Ziad will be reviving songs from his 40 years’ repertoire which basically promises that this concert is going to be one of the best since many years. Apart from releasing Bennesbe Labokra Shou and Film Ameriki Tawil in cinemas, the last time Ziad really amazed was back in 2008 when he presented Mni7a at the UNESCO Palace in Beirut and in 2007 when he performed in Damascus. The songs selection was great, there were several hilarious moments, and the singers who were with him were also incredible. Since then I attended one concert he held at the sea front but to be honest it was quite dull compared to the previous ones.

I already got my tickets for Beiteddine and I really hope the it will be up to everybody’s expectations! If you’re interested then tickets are on sale at Virgin Ticketing.
