Myriam Fares Santorini

All work and no play would make mom-to-be Myriam Fares a dull girl. The Lebanese singer took some time off with hubby Dani Mitri to indulge in sunny fun in stunning Santorini. The couple had dated for a decade before tying the knot - what better place to rekindle romance than this Greek paradise born from an ancient volcano?

Sherine Abdel Wahab in Beirut

Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel Wahab celebrated her Best Middle Eastern Female Artist win in the “Paris of the Arab world”, Beirut, earlier this spring. No need to leave the region to enjoy top-rated relaxation! (Lebanon's Ministry of Tourism is surely a fan!)

Maya Diab

Me oh Maya. Diab turned to Turkey for her travel kicks in September. The Turks didn’t know what had hit ‘em when Lebanon's blondest bombshell hit up all their hotspots from Istanbul, Marmaris, and the Bosphorus, bringing new meaning to Turkish Delights!

Stars on Board

Who says work can’t be fun? Kazem el Saher, Mohammed Assaf, Nancy Ajram, Najwa Karam, and Haifa Wehbe entertained around 3,000 fans on the Stars on Board Cruise in October. The drifting concert sailed from Rome to Marseilles to Barcelona before arriving at the Port of Genoa. For the performers, it was a well-paid vacation!

Ghada Abdel Razek

That Santorini sun shone on more that just Myriam this year. Egyptian actress Ghada Abdel Razek enjoyed a glorious Greek getaway too. She even posted proof on Instagram with a bikini-clad selfie. Shocking, we know.

Cyrine Abdelnour

Making the most of her free time, Lebanese actress Cyrine Abdelnour swam with dolphins in Dubai this fall, and it was aww-some. Oh, and she also hit up Italy, Croatia, and Bosnia. She sure does get around!

Assi Helani family

Seeing the Eiffel tower wasn’t exhilarating enough, so Lebanese vocalist Assi Helani and his family did their part for the French economy by shopping their way across Paris. He reportedly spent $2,500 on a pair of shoes! The "well-heeled" singer has a humanitarian side, performing at charity events to raise funds for the World Food Programme.

Haifa Wehbe

Haifa Wehbe gets her money's worth from her passport. So far this year, the Lebanese singer and actress headed over to Hamburg, Germany for the Big Apple Music Awards before swiftly making her way to the red carpet at Rome Fashion Week.

Nancy Ajram

Seems all roads do lead to Rome! Nancy Ajram celebrated her 32nd birthday Italian-style with her sexy hubster by her side. What better way to ring in a new year of life than to live la vida dulce?!
