A city with a venerable
past, 5,000 years ago, Beirut was a prosperous town on the Phoenician
and Canaanite coast. Its most famous landmark is Pigeon Rocks, a group
of rock formations on the sparkling Mediterranean. The shores
near Pigeon Rocks have yielded the oldest evidence we have of human
existence on the site of Beirut. [Photo credit: Arne Uusjarv (Estonia)]
