Near the southern city of Tyre, set amid the backdrop of Al Mansouri area, stands Orange House, a charming bed and breakfast founded by Mona El Khalil. Nestled between banana trees and orchards and surrounded by 75,000m2 of lush greenery, the distinctively sunny orange villa is also an eco-system project that offers a sanctuary for two endangered species of Mediterranean Sea turtles. WHAT’S UP? met up with El Khalil to give you a sneak peak at the nesting habits of these sea animals, as well as a look inside Orange House itself.

“The orange house has been part of the family estate since the 1970s. I remember that my father used to build a room every other week, until it spread out to become what it is today,” says El Khalil. The family lived for twenty years in Holland, but El Khalil never forgot her home country. “I just knew that one day I would go back to Lebanon. That day came in 1999, when I saw my first sea turtle.”
