Raouche Sea Rock

Lebanon’s famous Raouche Sea Rock, also known as Pigeon Rock, is located along the coastline of Beirut. The stunning set of rocks is a natural landmark that attracts thousands of tourists every year. The gigantic natural rock formation is located just off the western end of the Corniche (seaside promenade), and as a result, is particularly crowded during the sunset hours when a large number of tourists visit the place to witness its majestic beauty. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the spectacular sight of sunset from Raouche Sea Rock, you must leave early and stroll the Corniche to find the perfect spot.

The Corniche

The Corniche is one of the most popular seaside promenades in Beirut, Lebanon. Stretching from the Ramlet al Bayda to the Saint George marina, the 4.8 kilometers long waterfront esplanade is lined with palm trees. Since the Corniche is located in the Central District of Beirut, it offers a great view of some of the city’s renowned manmade and natural landmarks, such as the famous Raouche Sea Rock, the summits of Mount Lebanon, and the Mediterranean Sea.

Grand Sérail

Grand Sérail, which is also known as the Beirut’s Government Palace, is a building built during the Ottoman Empire. Since the building acts as the government headquarters these days, it is not open for public. However, the stunning Ottoman architecture and the Hamidiyyah Clock Tower never fail to catch the attention of the visitors.

National Museum

Housed in an extravagant Italian-style white mansion, the National Museum of Beirut proudly displays the archeological artifacts that offer visitors and locals an overview of the country’s history. Located on one of the most high-end streets of the city, formerly known as the Green Line, the National Museum of Beirut started in 1919 when a French officer residing in Lebanon displayed some ancient artifacts in one of the rooms of the German Deaconesses building. In 1923, the authorities decided to organize the collections and build a museum in Beirut. Two architects, Antoine Nahas and Pierre Leprince-Ringuet, designed the architecture of the building. The museum was officially opened to public in 1942.

Martyrs' Square

Martyrs’ Square is a public square in downtown Beirut built by the Ottomans in the 19th century. The place is a lot more than just a monument. It has a long history as a site of public political expression and revolution. Until the early 20th century, the city center was known as Place des Canons due to the Russian artillery which was placed there in the 18th century.
