LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The honeymoon period is often a time for newlyweds to celebrate their marriage and spend time together, but that isn't the case for our lead couple in Netflix's upcoming film 'Honeymoonish', which is set to premiere on April 30, 2024.

Under Elie Semaan's direction, the story centres on Hamad (Mahmoud Boushahri) and Noor (Nour Al Ghandour), a newlywed couple spending their honeymoon.

According to The Cinemaholic, the majority of the movie's filming occurs in Lebnon and its capital, Beirut.

Lebanon, home to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is a democratic republic with a unique style of parliamentary democracy known as confessionalism, where representatives from certain religious groups are disproportionately allocated to higher positions.

With nearly 7,000 years of history, Lebanon is the third-smallest nation in the Middle East, with its unique blend of modernity and tradition, Christianity and Islam.

Furthermore, a forest reserve called Cedars of God served as the location for a few of the movie's scenes.

The reserve, well-known for its magnificent cedar trees, provides a beautiful and picturesque vista that accentuates the natural beauty of the region.
