Hidden Gems of Mar Mikhael: 28 Gorgeous Photos

It’s no secret that the forever fashionable Mar Mikhael is one of our favorite districts in Beirut. It seems that Mar Mikhael’s popularity will perpetually remain on the rise, and for good reason. Not only is it a hub for the city’s trendiest bars, pubs, and restaurants, it also serves as a stunning reminder of Beirut’s classic and unassuming beauty. We spent a day strolling throughout the picturesque maze that is Mar Mikhael, and captured its most charming sights. Next time you’re in the neighborhood, be sure to look up. Below are some of our favorite sights on our favorite Beiruti street.
