Follow the Heritage Trail

The Lebanese people emerged from various civilisations over thousands of years. Lebanon was home to the Phoenicians and was subsequently conquered and occupied by the Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Crusaders, the Ottoman Turks and the French. This variety is reflected in its diverse population, composed of different religious groups, and featured in the country’s festivals, musical styles, literature, cuisine and architecture.

Take a stroll in Downtown and follow the Heritage Trail starting right in front of Le Gray, Beirut. Extend your knowledge and let your curiosity take you a few steps further to discover the neighbourhoods of Gouraud, Sursock and Monot streets or Clemenceau and Qantari. Our Concierge team will be happy to provide you with maps and indicate directions.
