Pigeon Rocks

The Pigeon Rocks, a natural wonder in the sea not far from the historic Raouche, are regarded as one of Lebanon's greatest treasures. The two enormous rock formations that make up Pigeons' Rock, often referred to as the Rock of Raouche, are situated in the westernmost point of Beirut. This offshore rock pair, which is 60 meters high, was created during the prehistoric past by a geologic action. The area is bordered by rocks, and traces of human habitation have also been discovered.

One can get a stunning view of the entire area when strolling along the Pigeon Rocks. At any time of day, locals like strolling along the corniche (seaside promenade), but it is extremely crowded just before sunset. Make sure you arrive early and wander the corniche before choosing the ideal location to take in the magnificent sunset. You can be taken around and through the largest rock's arch by neighborhood boat owners. Remember to haggle over the price up front, as is always wise in the Middle East.
