10 Pictures That Prove Quarantining in Lebanese Villages is The Best Thing Ever

Being quarantined isn't fun, I know that and you know that. Though we must admit: people living in the village have it easier and better than those living in the city.

Why? Well, for one, you can actually safely go outside because villages are not crowded like the cities and social distancing is easy. There's plenty of other reasons why you might actually enjoy being quarantined in a Lebanese village, and here's a list of them all:

#1 Social distancing at its best

This picture is in El Qammouaa, Akkar. Villagers can take advantage of social distancing and use it as an opportunity to bond with mother nature.

There are a ton of activities you can do in the wilderness while staying safe and cautious, like solo-picnics, hiking, camping, meditating, enjoying a warm bonfire, or just simply having a peaceful walk around.

#2 Nature is always a safe place

This picture is in Taanayel, Bekaa. Now we know that you must stay home and never go outside unless necessary. But there are some lucky people out there who have houses surrounded by trees and nothing else. They are social distancing any other day of the year, so they get to carry on with 80% of their daily routines.

#3 The world is never closing up on you

Even if you feel the safest between four walls; in the village, these walls won't be closing up on you. It is enough for you to have windows and see the horizon to feel calm and serene for the rest of the day.

#4 There's never a dull moment

#7 You never run out of anything
