Corniche & Raouche

The 10-kilometer long al-Manara Corniche, the seafront promenade named after the lighthouse, is lined with palm trees and runs all the way from Ain al-Mreisse until past Raouche. Especially in the late afternoon and evening, it is a social spot where playing children, cyclists and joggers are gratefully using the wide pavement. Small vendors are selling coffee, tea and snacks such as nuts, corn and ‘ka-ik’ - a typical Lebanese round-shaped bread. The Corniche lends itself to watching the sunset while leaning on the banister and enjoying the sound of the sea. On summer days, the rocks below are full of sunbathing and swimming boys and men. As a girl you are most welcome to join but don’t be surprised if all faces are pointed at you.
