The Beirut Museum of Art (BeMA) stands as a beacon of artistic expression and cultural preservation.

If Beirut had a soundtrack, it would be the rhythmic clanging of construction. It is an ever-evolving city, with new hipster bars, luxury high-rises, and trendy spots popping up every day.

Despite challenges, Beirut’s new spots bring hope and joy, offering vibrant restaurants, dessert havens, and cozy hangouts for all.

For over 20 years, the Beirut Marathon Association has united Lebanon, promoting hope, peace and perseverance.

Adjacent to the iconic National Museum of Beirut lies Lebanon’s newest cultural landmark: the stunning Nuhad Es-Said Pavilion for Culture.

Over the past seven years, Yazan Halwani has covered Beirut’s gray concrete walls with beautiful works of art. From Hamra to Karantina, his decorative work brightens up the city.

We take a trip back in time with travel and Instagram enthusiast Rawad Mansour, whose awesome photos of old Lebanese banknotes will take your breath away. 

Beirut’s art scene continues to reach new heights, bringing Lebanese talents to the forefront. Artist and gallerist Simon Mhanna is one such rising star.

Founded in 2020, SWIM is dedicated to raising environmental awareness and promoting sustainability through various projects and campaigns.
