Beirut, a trip in time

Beirut, a trip in time: "BEIRUT : A TRIP INTO THE PAST




Welcome to my homepage, dedicated to the city of Beirut, my native hometown. This page will take you in a trip back in time, to the late 19th and early 20th century. In it you will see photo postcards depicting the city and its people. Each postcard is from my collection of Beirut postcards accumulated over the years. I have divided the city into different sections. Click on each picture below to go to the corresponding section each loaded with beautiful pictures. I have also included a map of Beirut published in 1912 to help guide you through the city. You can click on the map to view a larger version. Enjoy, and God bless this great and evolving city.

Comment: an outstanding site, with mint postcard and the historical map of Beirut - from 1912 - one of the best sites I have ever met on the web as yet, logically structured with perfect English, offering rarely concise and still comprehensive data on the city, life in it. This site epitomises quality postcard web resource. Thank you Joseph. Recommend *****
