Beirut

After the 15 year Civil War ended in 1991, significant progress has been made to rebuild Beirut, and the Lebanese are now attempting to reattract travellers to their beautiful country, although there are still significant scars remaining.

I lived in Beirut as a child on three different occasions. From 1965 till 1966 and from 1967 until 1969 and from 1970 until 1971. I had an awesome childhood and recognize a lot of the pictures. I went to the English Community School and the American Community School. I went skiing at Friaya and visited the Roman ruins in Tripoli and Tyre. Loved the cornishe and loved eating Kaak and shuamas.

I lived in Beirut from 1962-1966, about a block from Pigeon Rocks in an apartment above a Donald Duck Toy Store and a Pizzeria. Probably the best pizza I've ever had anywhere in the world. Your pictures of Pigeon Rocks are the best I've seen. I remember renting a kayak from one of the beach clubs and going through the hole in Pigeon Rocks. I attended the American Community School in Beirut, Down the hill from AUB. Walking home from school in the afternoon I would stop by a stand and buy a Shawarma or bread from a vendor. I really miss the Shawarmas and the bread vendors. I can get Gyros where I live, but they are not the same.

Such a horrible shame - a beautiful, beautiful city with so much history! It just breaks my heart!

It's a shame that this beautiful city has been practically destroyed by Israel.

We will have to rebuild Beirut again. All that effort by Solidaire and Lebanese and foreign investors is going to waste thanks to Israel. We will rebuild again, and Israelis are not welcome in Beirut.
