Pigeon Rocks — Beirut's most photographed landmark

The perfect first photo stop and a wonderful introduction to this remarkable city. Your driver shares the local stories and legends behind these famous rocks.

A quick and lovely stop at Zaitunay Bay — Beirut's modern marina with elegant yachts, waterfront restaurants, and contemporary architecture. A great photo opportunity and a glimpse of the vibrant, cosmopolitan side of Beirut.
Pass by
Drive past the Holiday Inn Hotel — its bullet-scarred Civil War facade deliberately preserved as a powerful reminder of Lebanon's history and the resilience of its people.
Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque
10m
Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque — the beautiful Blue Mosque
Visit the grand Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque — Beirut's most recognisable mosque, with its beautiful Ottoman-inspired domes and four elegant minarets. A wonderful and important symbol of Beirut's Muslim heritage and a building that impresses every visitor with its scale and beauty.
Al-Omari Mosque
10m
Al-Omari Mosque — layers of history in one building
Visit the historic Al-Omari Mosque — one of Beirut's oldest places of worship, originally a Byzantine church, later a Crusader chapel, then an Ayyubid mosque, and expanded by the Mamluks. A beautifully layered building that your driver brings to life in a clear and engaging way.
10m
Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral — neighbours in peace
Steps from the Blue Mosque stands Saint George Cathedral — one of Beirut's oldest and most beloved churches. A grand mosque and an ancient cathedral sharing the same square is one of the most touching and most powerful symbols of Lebanese coexistence. Your driver explains why this image matters so deeply to the Lebanese people.
Martyr's Square

Place de l'Étoile — elegant French Mandate downtown

Roman Baths — 1,800 years old in the city centre
End your Beirut morning at one of the city's most surprising and most charming discoveries — a well-preserved Roman bath complex from the 3rd century AD, sitting in the open air of downtown Beirut. A wonderful reminder that this extraordinary city has been continuously lived in for over 5,000 years — and that its ancient foundations are never far from the surface.
