The city that will always be

Shot taken in downtown Beirut, Lebanon.

 

I have been sharing a few pictures from my last trip to Lebanon. I am always rejoiced to see the reactions from people to seeing their first ever pictures of my country, since many assume (rightfully so) that it is an absolute wreck.

 

Nothing is ever black or white and there is certainly a lot of beauty in Beirut that waits to be discovered and explored.

 

It was said that Beirut was destroyed and rebuilt 7 times. In 2020, another carnage hit Beirut through the famous port explosion. The streets seen in these shots were mostly ruined 5 yars ago. They were rebuilt, not through the efforts of the nonexistent government, but rather the individual efforts of the Beirutis as well as aids provided by some NGOs.
