Casino du Liban, Gaming venue in Maameltein, Jounieh, Lebanon.
Casino du Liban is a casino located on the Mediterranean coast in the Maameltein district of Jounieh, north of Beirut. Alongside slot machines and gaming tables, the complex holds several restaurants, a theater, a nightclub, and spaces for private events.
Casino du Liban opened in 1959 and quickly became a well-known entertainment destination on the eastern Mediterranean. The Lebanese Civil War forced it to close in 1989, and after reconstruction it reopened in 1996.
The theater inside Casino du Liban has long been a stage for performers from across the Arab world, and audiences still come from all over Lebanon to attend its shows. Evenings here tend to mix gaming with live entertainment, giving the place a social energy that goes beyond a typical casino visit.
The casino sits directly on the coastal road north of Beirut and is easiest to reach by car. Those looking to combine an evening of gaming with dining or a show can do everything on site without moving between venues.
The casino's Ambassadors Hall was rebuilt in summer 1998 to seat 750 people, and the Arabic source gives its capacity as 1,015 seats. It hosted Broadway-style revues and the Caracalla Dance Theatre, and Mansour Rahbani's production "Muluk al-Tawa'if" was staged there.
