Sunday Morning at 9 o'clock

On a recent Sunday morning I went for a walk through some of my favorite areas of Beirut.

One area, famous for its nightlife is Gemmayze. It is a charming and historic district with small narrow streets, alleys, steps and lanes. Above is Chez Paul, a popular place for Sunday brunch, located just at the beginning of Rue Gouraud.

Above are the Saint Nicolas Steps, the longest staircase in the Middle East.

On that same Sunday morning I walked through an eerily quiet Saifi Village.
