[한국어 정보]
베이루트 시내에서는 고대도시의 유적들을 쉽게 찾아 볼 수 있는데 로마시대의 신전이나 기둥의 잔해들이 현대적 건물과 묘한 조화를 이룬다. 시내 중심가에 위치한 공중목욕탕이 보는 이를 압도한다. 운동장처럼 넓었을 타일 바닥 밑으로는 기둥을 세우고 뜨거운 증기를 순환시켜 바닥을 덥힐 수 있게 설계했다. 2천 년 전 로마인들의 기술과 문화적 수준이 놀랍기만 하다. “유적은 한 시대의 생활상을 살펴볼 수 있는 곳이죠. 우리에겐 아주 소중한 자산입니다. 유적을 잘 보존해서 후세에게 전해야죠.”

في بيروت، المدينة قد بسهولة العثور على أنقاض بقايا المدينة القديمة من المعابد الرومانية وأعمدة المباني الحديثة وأنها تشكل الانسجام غريب. يقع همام الساحق الذي تشهد في وسط المدينة. بلاط الأرضيات في أوسع تحت الملعب هو مثل وضع الركائز يدور صمم البخار الساخن إلى deophil الأرض. منذ 2000 سنة على المستوى الفني والثقافي الرومان هو أعجوبة فقط. فمن حيث يمكنك استكشاف أنقاض حياة عصر. لدينا رصيدا قيما للغاية. أنقاض المحفوظة جيدا قبل أن فلدي أن يقال للأجيال.

Lebanon - Roman Treasure Dug Up
T/I: 11:23:52
Phone company workers digging a trench to lay cable in the ancient city of Baalbeck, in eastern Lebanon, came up with an unexpected find - a Roman treasure. Digging in the city's narrow streets, the workers unearthed artifacts including a rare and priceless Roman gold chain,
celebrating the god Jupiter. They found two sarcophaguses beneath the streets. One was empty, but the other contained pieces of gold, pottery, and the chain of 53 gold pieces shaped like grape leaves, which the Romans put on their dead.

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.

Beirut Travel Guide - Lebanese Charm
Beirut is the capital city of Lebanon with a population of approximately 2.1 million people in its metropolitan area. The city is on a relatively small headland jutting into the east Mediterranean. It is by far the biggest city in Lebanon. Due to Lebanon's small size the capital has always held the status as the only true cosmopolitan city in the country, and ever since the independence, has been the commercial and financial hub of Lebanon.
Beirut has survived a rough history, falling under the occupation of one empire after another,. Originally named Bêrūt, The Wells by the Phoenicians, Beirut's history goes back more than 5000 years. Excavations in the downtown area have unearthed layers of Phoenician, Hellenistic, Roman, Arab and Ottoman civilizations.
Beirut enjoys Mediterranean climate. Come in April to June for warm, dry days and long, cool evenings (15–25°C). Temperatures in July and August rise above 30°C and humidity can be somewhat overwhelming. Most areas of Beirut have a friendly atmosphere and Beirutis have a reputation for being very polite, friendly, sociable and outgoing. The locals are used to the sight of foreigners and many of them are happy to get to know you and even to show you around the city.

Olive oil, herbs, spices, fresh fruits and vegetables are commonly used, as well as dairy products, cereals, fishes and various types of meat. A visit to Beirut includes the traditional Lebanese Mezze (Meza), an elaborate variety of thirty hot and cold dishes.
As the city is quite compact, walking is the best way of getting around, and perfect for getting off the beaten track to find unexpected surprises. Most people however will not walk throughout the city, rather they will walk within certain districts and take cars/taxis to get from one district to another. Streets are poorly signposted, often giving a number instead of the street name you will have on your map, and few Beiruti locals would know how to navigate according to their names.
There are lots of hotels in Beirut's metropolitan area, ranging from cheap hostels to luxury suite hotels. Prices and quality vary across the spectrum, but if you look well enough, there's bound to be the perfect hotel inside whatever budget you set.
( Beirut - Lebanon ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Beirut . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Beirut - Lebanon

The Byzantine Commonwealth: BEIRUT of LEBANON
City of Phoenicians, Romans & Greeks
Beirut was known as the most Roman city of East. Greek was used by all classes in every mode of verbal expression. Yet the Phoenician-Punic heritage marked the writings of religion and literature. Furthermore, Syriac language had gained a growing importance.
The city is situated at the cost of Phoenicia in the eastern Mediterranean shores. Its harbor linked between the north ports such as Antioch & Constantinople and southern ports such as Caesarea and Alexandria and into the interior trade routs of the orient.
Trade has brought wealth to the city. Artisans produced merchandises of textile; garments of a special ornamented silk. They enjoyed a level of autonomy in their occupation such as weavers, silk & linen workers and producers of purple dye. Artists who produced mosaics and mastered glass and metal. Agricultural products were imported from the interior country-side.
This trade has enriched not only the merchants but also those who supplied services and transportation to enhance trade and to Roman government of Constantinople who enforced law and order.
Beirut was a city of lawyers! It was a center of legal studies and training in latin language and literature. It has attracted many students from all over the Mediterranean from Egypt to Illyricum and Armenia, who wish to master the Roman Law from world renowned professors such as Libanius. Gregory on Nazianzus obliquely referred to Beirut as the celebrated city of pleasant Phoenicia' the seat of Roman laws
Beirut was all in one: A Roman colonia, a Greek polis and a Phoenician city. It had temples, Agora (market), bathes and theaters. A dream that had come true of a cosmopolitan city. A splendissima indeed!
There was a variety of religions were practiced surprisingly harmonically in Beirut. Every sect of the society had its heritage with them. The poet Meleager of of Gadara (1st century B.C.) had composed at his epigram
If you are a Syrian, I say to you 'Salam!', if a Phoenician -- 'Naidios!'
and if Greek -- 'Chaire!' and you return me the same.
(Greek Anthology vii. 419)
Christianization has not progressed rapidly due to the cosmopolitan nature of the city. The establishment of churches has enhanced Christianity; it's decoration by mosaics and it were visited by the law students every evening services. Furthermore services were attended by speakers of many languages. The Christians had the advantage of the philosophical survival of freedom of thought in an academics city. Such a thing that should not be taken for granted even in our own days!

كلمات اغنية اعطني الناي لفيروز
شعر : جبران خليل جبران
أعطني الناي وغني
فالغنا سر الوجود
وأنين الناي يبقى
بعد أن يفنى الوجود
هل إتخذت الغاب مثلي
منـزلاً دون القصور
فتتبعت السواقي
وتسلقت الصخور
هل تحممت بعطره
وتنشفت بنور
وشربت الفجر خمراً
من كؤوس من أثير
هل جلست العصر مثلي
بين جفنات العنب
والعناقيد تدلت
كثريات الذهب
هل فرشت العشب ليلاً
وتلحفت الفضاء
زاهداً في ما سيأتي
ناسياً ما قد مضى
أعطني الناي وغني
وانسى داء ودواء
إنما الناس سطورٌ
كتبت لكن بماء
Give Me the Nay (Flute, Lute) and Sing
(English Translation of the poem by Kahlil Gibran)
Give me the Nay and sing,
The secret song of eternity.
The laments of the Nay will linger
Beyond the decline of existence.
Have you, like me,
Chosen the forest dwelling
Rather than the castle?
Have you followed the stream
And climbed the rocks?
Have you anointed your body
With fragrance distilled in light?
Have you been drunk with dawn
In the goblets full of pure air?
Have you, like me,
Sat down at dusk,
Among the glowing languor
Of vines laden with grapes?
Have you lain down on the grass at night
And covered yourself with heavens,
Opening your heart to the future,
Forgetful of the past?
Give me the Nay and sing,
The song in tune with hearts.
The laments of the Nay will linger
Beyond the fading of sins.
Give me the Nay and sing,
Give me the flute and sing,
forgetting all ailments and cures;
for people are like lines on a page
--written down--but with water
