@ArianLatif Thanks for this video. It brought back memories. As a child and teenager I lived in three apartment buildings in streets just off Hamra Street. That was many years ago and although most have changed, I could recognize some landmarks, like the ABC store, Strand, Plaza Hotel, and City Pharmacy. Thanks.
I lived in an apartment on Rue Madame Curie in 1963 before moving to an apartment off Hamra Street. I too recognize some things in the video, particularly The Strand.
Good street view video and beautiful place but very advance people dressing Muslim and none Muslim but video is good More videos again thanks I am from karachi Pakistan
The earliest evidence of civilization in Lebanon dates back to 5,000 BCE.[16] From c. 3200-539 BC, it was home to the flourishing Phoenician civilization before being annexed by various Near Eastern empires. In 64 BC, the Roman Empire conquered the region, and the region became a major center for Christianity under the Byzantine Empire.[17] In the 7th century, the Muslim conquest of the Levant established caliphal rule. The 11th century saw the start of the Crusades and the establishment of Crusader States in the region only for it to be later reclaimed by the Ayyubids and Mamluks before being ceded to the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. Under Sultan Abdulmejid I, the first Lebanese proto-state took form in the 19th century as the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, created as a home for the Maronite Christians under the Tanzimat reforms.
