Lebanon’s vibrant capital, Beirut, is often called the “Paris of the Middle East.” It’s a bustling blend of old and new — modern skyscrapers rise beside Ottoman-era buildings, and narrow streets overflow with cafés, art galleries, and street markets. The Corniche offers stunning seaside views, while districts like Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael pulse with nightlife, music, and creativity. Despite its history of challenges, Beirut remains a city of resilience, energy, and endless stories.
