On
Beirut’s western-most tip, is a
popular area with something for
everyone. Its most famous landmark is
Pigeon Rocks, huge formation which
stands like sentinels off the coast.
Numerous restaurants in Raouché serve
local and foreign cuisine, while
cliff-side cafés offer a good range
of snacks. But walking and jogging are
the favorite pastimes on this seaside
promenade.
The shores near Pigeon Rocks have
yielded the oldest evidence we have of
human existence on the site of Beirut.
Flints and basic tools found here are
displayed in the AUB Archaeological
Museum.
