Downtown Beirut

A bit gratuitous, I know, but I couldn't narrow it down to just one pic.

Martyr's Square. The statues are appropriately still shot up from the civil war (the big one).

View to the port area. Tall white building in the distance is the grain silos. Bottom right is stage set up this week for a nightly festival featuring Lebanon's hottest pop stars. I'll watch the highlights later on TV, thank you.

Always thought this mosque was a bit out of proportion to everything else around it. The white-roofed area below is where Hariri and those who died with him are buried.
