The event is being held at the Beirut souks in the Lebanese capital.
The event starts with a performance inspired by the Roman Phoenician history of Lebanon.
The beauties strut their stuff and are welcomed on stage as Phoenician Venuses.
The panel of judges is a star studded one, with Reem Acra, Guy Manoukian and former beauty queen Dina Azar and some other VIP’s.
Super star Ragheb Alamah is the star entertaining tonight.
After the first break, the young girls are introduced to the viewers in a reportage about each getting a make-over or "re-looking".

The question is about social media, How is social media threatening personal freedom and where do the limits begin and end?
Ragheb Alamah sings again towards the end of the event. This time he sings "Nassini Eddunia".
After the break, it’s a musical performance fit for Las Vegas!
