Reisgids over Beiroet, met beschrijvingen van de stad door de ogen van bewoners en bezoekers, stadswandelingen, architectuur, kaarten en praktische informatie over deze trendy, met een heel rijke geschiedenis, hoofdstad van Libanon:
Bairut, Beyrouth (in Lebanon ) city guide travel book with impressions of the city, walking tours, architectures and addresses:
Beyroutes, a guidebook to Beirut; walk its streets, visit its hip quarters, check the destroyed but completely resurrected city centre, talk to the armed soldiers at the street corners, listen to the old and not-so-old war stories from the cab driver, explore its old, new and upcoming neighborhoods. Only a few cities in the world offer so many layers of hidden meaning as Beirut does. In the public realm of this town there seems to be merely suggestion, projection and differences of opinion that somehow interact with peoples daily movements and actions.
Beyroutes presents an exploded view of a city which lives so many double lives and figures in so many truths, myths and historical falsifications. Visiting the city with this intimate book as your guide makes you feel disoriented, appreciative, judgmental and perhaps eventually reconciliatory. Beyroutes is the field manual for 21st century urban explorer.
