Ras Beirut, Residential district in Beirut, Lebanon.
This seaside neighborhood extends along the Mediterranean coast, featuring educational institutions, retail areas, and residential buildings with diverse architectural styles.
Archaeological discoveries in the marine terraces of Ras Beirut from 1946 revealed artifacts dating from Lower Paleolithic to Neolithic periods.
The district maintains a mixed population of Christians, Muslims, and Druze communities, representing the multicultural nature of Lebanese society.
Visitors can find numerous dining establishments, hotels, and shopping venues along Hamra Street, with the American University of Beirut campus nearby.
Al Ba'sa, constructed in 1954 as a spite house, stands as an extraordinarily narrow building designed to obstruct the view of neighboring properties.
