I visited Beirut last summer to explore its museums and seaside promenades.

The Beiruti pastries at the market were the most popular among locals.

A Beiruti told stories of the city's old cafes while we sipped coffee.

Beirutis gathered in the old souk, sharing stories and pastries as they welcomed the spring festival.

Beirutians gathered at the waterfront to demand better infrastructure after the storm.

Beirutian architecture blends Ottoman, French, and modern influences.

A Beirutian invited me to a family dinner where traditional Lebanese songs were played.
