Raouché is a coastal neighborhood in Beirut renowned for the Pigeon Rocks (also known as the Rock of Raouché), two massive natural sea arches that rise dramatically from the Mediterranean. These limestone formations are a beloved symbol of the city and a must-see for photographers. Visitors can walk along the Corniche for classic views, or take a boat tour to get up close. The area is also lined with restaurants and cafes, making it a lively spot day or night.

Don't miss

  • Photograph the Pigeon Rocks at sunset when the sky colors reflect off the sea.
  • Take a short boat ride to see the arches from below and explore nearby sea caves.
  • Enjoy a meal at a seaside restaurant with direct views of the rocks.
