Beirut has long been synonym to war, destruction, endless fighting, but at present, the city has turned to the opposite. The place to go to taste this construction frenzy and the new spirit is the Beirut Central District.
While the Central District was called the Paris of the Middle East in the 1970s, it turned into a war torn area for the next 15 years. Setting as much as a foot in this area in the 1980s was a very unwise thing to do. Still now, there are some buildings completely riddled with bullet holes, testimony to the fierce fighting that took place for such a long time here. Nowadays, however, walking around this area is a pleasure, and it makes the visitor curious to see how a war area can become a peaceful neighbourhood.
