Our verdict

Beirut, capital of Lebanon on the Mediterranean coast: 360,000 inhabitants intra-muros, 2.4 million in the urban area (50% of Lebanon's total population). Historically nicknamed the " Paris of the Middle East " for its cosmopolitanism and chic before the 1975-1990 civil war that destroyed the city.
