These are from a very old soap factory now turned museum in Saida.

Downtown Beirut

Downtown beirut is the project of Solidere. A pedestrian area with high end shops, some ruins, and a thriving evening life with many cafes and restaurants. While a bit plastic, its certainly way better than most modern building projects. definitely better than any shopping mall.

from the citadel in Tripoli

The Citadel sits on top of a hill in the old section of Tripoli. Here is its history.

Tripoli is a somewhat depressing city. its very dirty, very chaotic, and riddled with poverty. Quite a tense place. Definitely fascinating, and the souks were so distracting, i hardly took any pictures. the souks were dumbfounding, actually.
