• Pigeon Rocks in Raouche - The Pigeon Rocks are a breathtaking set of formations and a popular tourist attraction, celebrated for their iconic structures in a picturesque seaside setting, welcoming visitors to the city of Beirut. Known also as the Rock of Raouché, these two massive rock formations stand like towering sentinels at Beirut’s westernmost point.

• Corniche Beirut - Extending from the Ramlet al Bayda area to the Saint George marina, Al Manara Corniche is Beirut’s most famous seaside promenade.

• Holiday Inn Hotel - This abandoned Holiday Inn Hotel is a significant war landmark in Beirut. Constructed between 1971 and 1974 during Beirut’s economic boom, it was a top tourist destination in the Middle East. The hotel operated until the Lebanese civil war began in 1975, after which it became a “war zone” during the “Battle of the Hotels,” where over 25,000 combatants fought for control of luxury hotels, including the Holiday Inn and the famous Phoenicia hotel. The hotel remains untouched and abandoned, serving as a poignant reminder of the war’s horrors to the Lebanese people.

The mosque boasts multiple domes made from light blue tiles and several arches that are a couple of stories high.

• Al-Omari Mosque - The Al-Omari Grand Mosque was originally built during the era of Omar Bin El Khattab in 635 AD, later converted to the Church of Saint John by the Crusaders in the 12th century, and then transformed back into the city’s Grand Mosque by the Mamluks in 1291. Damaged during the Civil War, the mosque’s restoration was completed in 2004.

• Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral - The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint George serves as the seat of the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan bishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Beirut and its dependencies. It is the oldest church in Beirut and one of the oldest in the region, located in the heart of Beirut’s city center. The first Christian temple on this site dates back to the mid-sixth century AD and is closely linked to Beirut’s renowned Law School.

• Martyr’s Square - Martyrs’ Square is a central square in downtown Beirut, historically known as “Al Burj” or “Place des Cannons.” It is named after the executions of Lebanese nationalists by the Ottomans on May 6, 1916, ordered by Jamal Pasha during World War I.

• Place de l’Etoile - Nejme Square, or Place de l’Étoile, is the central square in the Downtown area.

Roman Berytus had four major bath complexes, with the first established in the early first century under Augustus. The devastating Berytus earthquake in 551 AD destroyed all the baths. Today, the Roman Berytus Baths reflect the site’s ancient traditions, with one bath used as a venue for artistic performances and concerts.
