Currently Quijorna has about 285 members who fully accept the withered look of their playground, which consumes no more liters of water than an average household in a year. "At first sight, it's shocking. But at least you feel like a part of nature. It's not an artificial surface you're playing on.

There's not a bikini in sight on the city's sunny shoreline or a parked Porsche in the chic shopping district. Few Lebanese saw it coming.
