???????? Travels for Street Art: Beirut (Lebanon)
The street art scene of Beirut is probably the most sophisticated of the entire Middle East. Lebanon was torn by the civil war during the '80s, when stencils and graffiti were used as propaganda by the various militias. Today the street art scene evolved, although social and political issues are still dominant in many murals. In this short documentary, we discover how some Lebanese artists are trying to use street art as a way to reunite Lebanese
Artists pictured in this video: Yazan Halwani, Ernesto Maranje, Jorge Gerada, C215, Into, Said Mahmoud, Karim Temerji, Ashekman

Ten Top Must Visit Places in Beirut Lebanon
Ten Top Must Visit Places in Beirut Lebanon
Beirut Central District
Beirut Central District is the name given to the city’s geographic, administrative and commercial center. Perhaps more significantly, it is an area which urban landscape speaks volumes of the country’s recent history. Much of the area surrounding Nejmeh Square, and the 1930s clock tower standing in its center, is testimony to the city’s post-war reconstruction efforts overseen by Solidere, one of the grandest urban uplift projects anywhere in the world. Straying only a couple of blocks from here you reach the ruins of the Roman Baths, and for a chance to witness the scars still visible from some of the civil war’s most intense fighting, head to Martyr’s square, itself in an ongoing process of redevelopment.
American University of Beirut Campus
Other than the famous Oxbridge, university campuses hardly make it to the top priorities on a city trip – not to with here. Founded by American missionaries in the 1860s, the American University of Beirut campus spreads across 61-acres of carefully maintained greenery on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. A stroll through its grounds takes you past many charming 19th century buildings across a landscape that has remained remarkablyintact through the civil war.
Robert Mouawad Private Museum
The Robert Mouawad Private Museum was a private residence in Beirut’s Zokak el-Blat quarter until 2006 when it was converted into a museum by businessman and jeweler Robert Mouawad. This neo-gothic palace, erected in 1911 by Lebanese politician and art collector Henri Philippe Pharaoun, houses its first owner’s eclectic collection of aesthetic and historical objects of interest including Byzantine Mosaics, Roman marble sculptures, Chinese porcelain, Christian icons, manuscripts, and an impressive carpet collection – all of which is housed within rooms adorned by decorative 19th century wooden panels.
National Museum of Beirut
Sitting on the infamous Green line, the city’s front line during the civil war, the National Museum of Beirut suffered more damage than most. Now restored back to its full glory, it is once again home to the largest and most significant collections of archaeological artifacts in Lebanon, and of the most extensive anywhere in the Middle East. The 1,300-strong collection, housed in a building inspired by French design, ranges from prehistory up to the Roman and Byzantine period and the following Arab conquest.
Hamra Street
Hamra Street, or as it known locally, Rue Hamra, is one of Beirut’s most important streets and commercial centers. From the sixties to the nineties it was home to intellectuals, journalists and artists frequenting a string of theaters and sidewalk cafes. Today it bears the marks of a shift in identity, aligned with western retail outlets, hotels and coffee shops, and also attracts large numbers of youths in its bars and clubs.
Corniche
The word corniche knows few better referents than the one in Beirut. Encircling the city’s promontory for nearly 5 kilometres from St. George Bay to its end at Ramlet al-Bayda, this seaside promenade – first designed during the French Mandate period – gives extensive insights into the life of the city. Here’s the chance to spot Beirut’s wealthiest sitting at upscale cafés and in luxurious cars, with a backdrop of the Mediterranean sea on one side and the summits of Mount Lebanon on the other.
Metropolis Art Cinema
From a regional perspective, Lebanon has tended to trail behind the powerhouses of Egypt and Turkey when it comes to cinematic production and the audio-visual sector. Since 2008 however, the city is now home to one of the Middle East’s most exciting cinematic venues. Situated at the heart of the old Achrafieh district, Metropolis Art Cinema invests in harmonizing cultural diversity and fostering cultural dialogue through its programmes rich in Arab and international art-house productions, auteur films and retrospectives. It also regularly plays host to a number of film festivals.
Grand Omari Mosque
A visit to the Grand Omari Mosque takes you to the heart of Beirut’s layered history. Before being eclipsed by the Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, Al-Omari used to be the city’s most important one. The mosque knows its origins to antiquity; the foundations were first laid for the construction of a pagan Roman temple, later to be converted into a Byzantine church, and a later still a Crusader church.
Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Cathedral
Situated on Beirut’s central Parliament square, and just above the ruins of the Roman law school, Saint George’s Cathedral sits on the same site shared by previous ancient and medieval churches, each of which were reduced to ruins by subsequent earthquakes. The present structure dates to the eighteenth century, making it the oldest extant church in the city. Following its restoration, it opened its doors once more in 2003.
