Product Description
Hg2 Beirut tackles one of the Middle East's most vibrant and exciting cities. The continued reconstruction of the city after one of the most publicised and bloody conflicts of the 1980s has seen a surge in designer restaurants, clubs and bars with an appetite for nightlife unparralled elsewhere in the region. Ski in the morning, dive in the afternoon in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean before a little evening shopping in one of the many world class shops in the newly constructed downtown.

We were given a copy of this book before we went to Beirut and it was invaluable - we had an amazing weekend away which would have been unachievable without it. Every recommendation it made was spot on, the prices were right and the crowd were as expected, the pictures of all the restaurants and bars helped us make a quick decision about where to go. Without this book we would have been totally lost - there is no other guide on the market to Beirut (that we found) and this really helped us have an unforgettable weekend.

Disappointing. I was hoping for something with some style and panache, but what we have is very static and self-satisfied. Hedonism is not just a matter of drinking a lot and parrotting what one has read in Rolling Stone magazine. Some sensuality and sensitivity might have helped.

The title should be a warning.Very superficial with more pages on places to a)drink or b) snack than on culture and only one reasonably good value hotel mentioned. Not bad on restaurants.Not a substitute for a good guide book but there's nothing much around.
