There are quite a few interesting religious monuments in Beirut, be it mosques, Christian cathedrals or synagogues. Take for example, the Mohammed Al-Amin Mosque, an excellent example of architecture. It was built with the money of the parishioners, which they collected for 50 years. The mosque is famous for its unsurpassed interior decoration, so you should definitely appreciate it. Another stunning mosque is the Al-Omari Grand Mosque, the most ancient temple in Beirut. This shrine was built on the site of a Roman temple, and in 1291, the mosque acquired a modern look. There is the Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in the city. It is notable for its interior decoration, as well as the fact that you can find an interesting museum that introduces you to the history of the city, under the church.
The American University of Beirut is called a true “oasis in a desert” for the fact that an excellent garden is located on the building’s grounds. A certain peace reigns here. This is one of the places where you can relax away from the noisy city. Also situated here is the Archaeological Museum, which you can visit for free. Also in the city was left the ruins of the Roman baths. It is worth mentioning that they are well preserved. They were found in 1991, and before this time there was a highway here. You can visit them at absolutely no cost.
