Stroll down Badaro Main Street to the Tayyouneh Round-About and you’ve arrived to Beirut’s largest green space, remnants of the pine forest that once surrounded the city before it expanded to become the country's capital during the 20th century.
Jog, read, suntan or have a small picnic, a bit of fresh air is good for your hair :)
