While
adopting the privileged statut of 2009 Beirut World Book Capital,
Beirut deserves well to have finally its first tourist book-guide
entirely dedicated to its honor. This book aims to help the reader
to get maximum of information in a minimum of reading time. It
summarizes the historical, geographical, religious, cultural and
anecdotal aspects of the Lebanese capital. Provided with a flying
card of the city, the book guides easly and appropriately foreign
tourists as well as Lebanese in quest of a methodically documented
visit. Possibility to proceed zone by zone; the Downtown, zone
A, is divided up in sectors. When the tourist arrives to a sector,
the monuments are described according to the itinerary that he
follows and not thematically or chronologically. The paragraphs
in color figuring in a zone or a sector are not necessarily related
neither to the zone nor to the sector; these are curiosities categories
introduced in an enriching puzzle system (ex s several architecture’s
categories are scattered. Besides, there are small introductions
about personalities whose name is assigned to a street or a monument,
in order to familiarize the visitor, puzzle system, with the history
of the country (to avoid annoying and tiring tourist with names
that he doesn't understand). It is the first tourist guide book,
as the ones of Europe, introducing great Lebanese painters, Corm,
Onsi, Srour, Mourani, Farroukh, Wehbi, Howayeck, and Gibran, hoping
and wishing that Lebanon will soon manage a permanent Museum in
their honor.
