'Bassara Berrajeh' is the usual call u hear when u see an apparently healthy woman, carying a child and looking like a gypsy. What she is offering you is a 'reading': do u want to know ur future? will u be successful? etc...The genuine price will probably rise at the end of that reading, and if u refuse to pay, she'll make a scene, supported by friends and family that seam to appear from nowhere. These in Lebanon are known as the Nawar, or arab nomads, althought their spoken basic language is not arabic.

Pigeon Rocks is a genuine tourist trap. The usual Coca Cola and Fujifilm signs and overpriced drinks and food at the cafés. Dip your toes in the Mediterrean.
