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

The mosque boasts multiple domes made from light blue tiles and several arches that are a couple of stories tall.
• Al-Omari Mosque - The Al-Omari Grand Mosque, originally built during the era of Omar Bin El Khattab in 635 AD, was converted into the Church of Saint John by the Crusaders in the 12th century, and later transformed back into the city’s Grand Mosque by the Mamluks in 1291. Damaged during the Civil War, its restoration was completed in 2004.

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.

Constructed between 1971 and 1974 during Beirut’s economic boom, it was a popular 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 over various luxury hotels, including the Holiday Inn and the renowned Phoenicia hotel. Decades after the war, the hotel remains untouched, abandoned, and empty, serving as a poignant reminder to the Lebanese people of the horrors of war.
