Beirut definitely has its share of quirky and sordid tales to tell and wouldn’t you like to know…to really hear what the streets have to say, you have to get out of your car and stroll through less explored alleyways. Walk Beirut offers just that.
Every day you drive by beautiful building without really looking. 50 meters away from your favorite restaurant, there is a neighborhood which is a real testimony to what the city of Beirut once was, but you have no idea. Most of us have no idea. How about a walking tour of Beirut to discover the hidden face of our capital? Walk Beirut is the initiative of a group of AUB graduates who promise to show you what Beirut is really all about.
