Beirut: A place where charm meets beauty in the Middle East.

Beirut, the dazzling capital of Lebanon, is like a shining pearl on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, showing its unique charm. It is a wonderful blend of history and modernity. Strolling through the old town, you will see winding narrow streets and alleys, old but solid stone houses, Roman columns, Byzantine mosaics, and Ottoman-style arches scattered among them, layer upon layer bearing the marks of thousands of years of civilization. The traces of the prosperous commerce in the past and the rule of different empires can be found in every brick and stone and every carving. At the corner, fashionable cafes and avant-garde art galleries suddenly come into view, the glass curtain walls of modern buildings reflect the blue sky, the new streets are bustling with traffic, and the pace of modern life is brisk. Beirut also has intoxicating coastal scenery. The Mediterranean Sea is clear and blue, the waves gently beat the beach, the coconut trees along the coast sway, and people stroll leisurely on the beach and enjoy the sunshine. As night falls and the lights come on, the aroma of Lebanese food wafts from streetside restaurants, music plays, and diverse cultures dance on your tongue and in your ears, showcasing the city's charming vitality and inclusiveness.
