Beirut Downtown, Corniche and National Museum Tour
Description
Check heart of Beirut capital and Martyr’s square in downtown. View Pigeon Rocks at the Corniche. Beirut Downtown: Martyr’s square in downtown holds a monument to the Martyrs of the Civil War, when the country was wracked by sectarian fighting and external interference. The statue, which is of a young man and woman reaching for the sky, provides a good backdrop for pictures. Corniche: Located just off the western end of the Corniche are several natural rock structures/ arch known as Pigeon Rocks. You can also take a boat ride around the rock formations and apparently through some caves. National Museum: The story of the National Museum started in 1919 with a small group of ancient artifacts, which had been collected by Raymond Weill, a French officer stationed in Lebanon. These objects were displayed in one of the rooms of the German Deaconesses building in Georges Picot Street in Beirut. This exhibition hall served as a temporary museum.

Great tour with Jamal. He was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the country & city. He was also very flexible with what I wanted to see and spend more time looking at. I would highly recommend this tour!
Dear Fabric, You are welcome anytime in our board with Lebanon tours online we are so happy for this review 😀 we promise all customers they will have great experience with our company best wishes for you 🙏 Fadi.
I arrived in Beirut in the morning, and after collecting me at the airport and dropping my bag off at the hotel, Fadil took me on a half day tour of Beirut. We walked to some interesting places and Fadil shared some information for each of them as well as history and current situation in Lebanon. Fadil was very flexible in arranging the half day tour on the same day as my arrival to Beirut and this allowed me to squeeze in a city tour in my packed itinerary. Much appreciated and I do recommend using Fadil's services as he is also easy to talk to and discuss customised tours.
