    Review of: National Museum of Beirut
    Lots to see - but need flashlight when power is out
    I didn't want to drain my phone battery to use the flashlight but when I went it was needed because the electricity was out. Otherwise it is a lovely small museum.

    Review of: Zaitunay Bay
    A modern marina
    Worth checking out, even if the prices are higher than elsewhere in the town. Several well known restaurants with large outdoor seating areas.

    Review of: Mim Museum - Mineral Museum
    Wonderful
    If you do nothing else in Beirut do this! It is spectacular. A great experience for adults and children. Beautifully exhibited and an added bonus of some fossils.

    Review of: Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque
    Beautiful on the outside
    We went a couple of times but it was closed inside and we couldn't figure out the right information to see the inside. Oh well. It is stunning on the outside.

    Review of: Pigeon Rocks in Raouche
    Good for a quick drive by
    Lovely to look at, but don't need much time. Can check it out during a drive by when one is in the area. Sadly, one sees plenty of trash in the sea around it.

    Review of: American University of Beirut
    Beautiful campus and wonderful, passionate staff and faculty
    I absolutely love the American University of Beirut! The students, staff and faculty are so welcoming and representative of the people of Lebanon—hard working, positive, and looking to make positive changes in the world. I’m so impressed at how many people passionately working on making a difference with digital accessibility and inclusion within AUB and the country as a whole! The AUB Accessibility for a Bolder Learning Experience (ABLE) Summit is an amazing celebration of knowledge and advocacy for people with disabilities. It’s refreshing to see the genuine care that AUB stakeholders possess for others, despite any crises going on the last three years.

    On top of the amazing things that AUB is doing, the campus is amazing with hundreds of varieties of trees from all over the world adding to the character of this campus. If you’re in Beirut, you must pay a visit to the AUB campus.

    Review of: Gemmayzeh Street
    Very chic neighborhood!
    Stayed in a hostel in this area, very chic neighborhood filled with many restaurants and bars. Walking distance from the new large mosque built in Lebanon. Highly recommend spending a night here with friends

    Review of: Hamra Street
    Good place for tourist shopping
    Congested, careful walking as not pedestrian friendly when crossing the streets, but that is for all of Beirut. There were many great shops for buying tourist gifts and everything was reasonably priced. Also, places to snack are around.

    Review of: Corniche Beirut
    Nice for good walk !
    The Beirut Corniche is probably one of most beautiful promenades if you want to make a long and relaxing walk. Starting at the Zaytunay Bay this promenade stretches out for several km's with some nice view points such as the pigeon rocks. Even during the cooler winter-month of december people love to stroll along this open area. We were lucky with the weather so for us it felt more or less like spring. Most enjoyable to watch the fishermen at the shore. Even when the evening falls there are still lots of people gathering together. There are a lot of new buildings but now and then you can find some older buildings in between which gives the environment a typical feeling.

    Review of: Solidere
    Controversial Beirut Force
    Solidere is the company behind the rebuilding of downtown Beirut. Look them or loathe them, Solidere is transforming Beirut. Sometimes the new core seems soulless and designed for wealthy gulf emirs. But the shops, restaurants, architecture, housing all make for a brilliant urban core where there was once desolation. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few decades.

    Review of: Banque Du Liban Museum
    Keep up the great work! 5/5
    As someone who is broke and has always pushed for more social equality, I have to say, I LOVE what BDL has done.

    Young, old, married, single, muslim, christian... We’re all gonna be broke! We’ll all have the same income: 0. Isn’t that great?! There’s no wealth inequality if everyone’s poor, right? Ladies, there’s no wage gap if no one has any money either, am I right?

    Finally, we can all be equal. Riad Salamé is a true social justice hero.
