Hi friends:

Could anyone post pix of Ashrafiyeh and other rich neighborhoods of Beirut with their names. I really like to see them since it should be very exotic and nice just like other parts of the city.

Also I would like to know which part is exactly downtown Beirut.

Thanks :)

go to www.downtownbeirut.com

Yes I agree, we need many more threads that are dedicated to specific cities or districts of beirut. I have many pics I will post them soon...

You can see the Achrafiyeh Skyline

i heard asrafiyah girls are the cutest ...

Hahaha, as far as i know its a small district of the city... You can't be specific like that... If u were to say the south of lebanon girls, or some other province or big city, sure, but i don't think u can be specific like that about a single district of a city...

Can he :sly: ?? lol

I love this building!!

I took many pics last year and this year, i'll post them soon...

I did not know that this neighbourhood was very nice.

Okay, here are some of my pics taken both last summer and this summer...

Great pix beirut!.. I never paid attention before that Achrafiyeh buildings have that much hanging trees (or plants).. something like the hanging gardens of Babylon!!:

Brilliant pics! Lovely part of the city :) Didn't this district get featured in Bosta? (chicken tamer's pic looks a bit like one of the scenes from the movie)

^^Yes,right :)

everyone one seems to be painting there homes getting rid of that depressing brown and grey, I didnt know it was sooo hilly that area

^^Yes,right :)

I knew it looked familiar! :D Good to see great upkeep on the buildings, the "dirtier" parts contrast well with the modern, clean stuff, really adds a nice touch :)

i duno where to post this but can anyone upload pics of hamra (particularly the streets and shops etc... street life) and perhaps zalka/jal-el-dib/antelias if possible?

^^ There is already a thread for Hamra Street:

thats prety odd, i can access the link from here no problem, but i cant seem to find where it came from, as in under which category? are there some kinda hidden threads or smthin?

^^ You need to change your display options settings, so it lists all threads From the "beginning"

^^ If you look closely, there are several buildings under construction in this pic!

omg...that is so DENESED...so much concerte... do they need more buildings there ??? !!

^^I like it this way :) But you know, it looks more dense from the sky than what it really is..

its the worst view ever there is way to much gray no glass buildings expect for the Byblos bank .. .... I know when you actully go walk around the area from the ground , its more spread out and nicer, thats why i dont like much views of Beirut much.

^^That is why I don't like zoomed photo, the zoom distorts the view!

MORE TREES MORE GREEN PLZ NO O2

I just love Achrafieh, just a few glass skyscrapers and it will be perfect, here's the view from Biel (david guetta's concert location)
