Sid99:“jeanise Pigeon Rocks... or Raouche Rocks (depending on who you're talking to) is located in Raouche, Beirut. Known as being a romantic place to come to see beautiful sunsets. They weren't lying! Nothing but great views all around. There are several restaurants located right off the water giving you the chance to watch the sun go down, it's beautiful. The rocks are about 60 meters high and for the right price, local boat owners will take you through the arch and all around the rocks if you want.Tips:”
E29***39:“Beirut Souks is one of the most lively places in Lebanon. If you wanna enjoy shopping, whether its luxury or not, visit this market. it has big famous brands, restaurants and cinmea and coffee shops. I recommend eating at Snoberh, very traditional food (mostly a bakery) ”
Please contact the attraction to confirm specific opening hours
爱的康乃馨:“I didn't feel anything when I passed by the Blue Mosque in Beirut during the day, but at night, it was particularly gorgeous under the lights. I didn't go in to see it because most mosques are similar inside.”
雨丝风片:“Lebanon's National Museum is now ready to shoot tomb raiders. The ground floor is full of tombs, and there are three real mummies on display. The last picture is the clothes the mummies wear. Photographs of dead bodies are not allowed.”
HFHR2013:“This is a square built for the martyrs who died in the war at that time this year. The site is very beautiful and the scenery is very beautiful to see.”
爱的康乃馨:“Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, is a beautiful seaside city. When you enter it, you will find that your vision is as wide as the mouth of the sea. A couple who are dining with us in this seaside restaurant are sitting there talking and laughing before the rainstorm. It feels a little out of place. Friends and friends meet and hang out.”
