Beirut Duty Free Turns Holiday Arrivals Into A Dabke Party
Holiday travel just got a major upgrade at Beirut Duty Free! Arriving passengers were treated to a surprise celebration that turned the airport into a dance floor, all thanks to a jolly Santa, a cheerful elf, and some seriously catchy Dabke beats.
Santa Starts a Dabke
Forget the usual airport rush—on this day, travelers were greeted by Santa Claus and his elf sidekick, both ready to spread cheer. The duo kicked off a Dabke, Lebanon’s iconic folk dance, right in the terminal. Passengers couldn’t resist joining in, forming a lively circle, holding hands, and stomping to the rhythm. The energy was contagious, and soon the whole area was buzzing with smiles and laughter.
Music Brings Everyone Together
Music filled the air as more and more people joined the fun. The airport, usually a place of quick hellos and goodbyes, transformed into a festive hub. Santa and the elf led the way, showing off their Dabke moves and encouraging everyone to let loose. Even those just watching couldn’t help but clap along to the beat.
A Magical Arrival Moment
By the end, the dance circle had grown, with travelers of all ages celebrating together. The spontaneous party brought a dose of holiday magic to Beirut Duty Free, making arrivals feel extra special.
