The whole area is non-reflective of anything in beirut. Its paris in beirut. Only reason to go there are a few restaurants and shopping for brands.

This is the renewed old downtown of Beirut where it is only allowed for pedestrians. Enjoy the cafes spread all over, and the restaurants, however, I do not advise anyone to smoke the Arjeela in those Cafes, although they change the hose (disclosable) but they do not wash it or change the water between customers.

Excellent rejuvenation of the area. It is high-end, so take this into consideration in terms of the restaurants, shopping, etc in the Beirut Souks area, Downtown, in general... Very well maintained. Lots of churches, the beatiful blue-domed mosque, archeological sites...

The fruits of Rafiq Al Harriri, this reworked part of Beirut is a pleasant place to walk. Retail outlets are little limited in the sense that they only cater to premium customers, but overall, the walk is still pleasant. It can get boring very quickly though - it isn't a large area by any standard.

Newly build city center is beautiful and you may not believe that you are walking in a MiddleEastern city, all store are luxury branded and cafes and restaurants are easily comparable with ones in Monaco or Nice. You will love the place for sure...
