Beirut/Ain El Mraiseh

Ain El Mraisseh is in Beirut, along Beirut's coastal Corniche, which stretches for several kilometers. It is only a few minutes away from the renovated city center. This district was famous for its nightlife in the early 1970s and is attempting to regain its reputation. It has the highest concentration of luxury hotels in Beirut and hosts internationally recognized coffee shops.

Get in
Ain El Mraiseh is just to the northwest of Downtown Beirut, beside the Beirut Marina. Walking is the easiest way to get there as it is not far at all.

Do

 * Roller skate along the wide smoothly paved seafront Corniche. At sunset the entire population heads towards the corniche to watch the sunset, so if you'd like some space to skate fast go there in the morning or late evening when the crowds disperse. The Corniche stretches for many kilometers and is absolutely perfect for skating especially because of the stunning view of the sea.
