Ancient city Beirut Lebanon during 1965 - Beirut before the war. Old rare video of Beirut Lebanon

Stylish Beirut , the pearl of the Middle East… much love and respect to the wonderful people of Lebanon 🇱🇧 from 🇲🇦

[@WilliamMatar]

So sweeeeet of you... 🙏😍🇱🇧😊❤️

Beirut had so many stylish mid-century buildings. I wonder how many survived the civil war? Crazy to think that just a decade later this beautiful city became a battleground. I would still like to visit one day, even though I'm sure the glamour is long gone.

[@WilliamMatar]

Indeed so sad destiny... anyway hope to see you in Beirut one day

[@zulfiquarfneiche3467]

Most of it is still standing

[@theroyalmemes8611]

The glamour is nowhere near long gone, the city faced a huge reconstruction plan in the early 2000s, it looks absolutely indifferent aside from moteur cables and no road markings

[@WilliamMatar]

@theroyalmemes8611 😘

[@Beiroots]

The iconic pool bar @ 8.20! Such cool times. When they renovated the hotel they deemed it too crazy for current mores and removed it. Such a pity.

[@WilliamMatar]

Pray for Lebanon to be better...

Dude... This looks like Lebanon in 2080. How is there no garbage... The buildings... The cars... Sad

[@WilliamMatar]

Indeed so sad...

That Mr Fleming sounds and acts very Roger Moore of 007!

I listen to many podcasts, but this one recently was saying that this "golden age" of Lebanon was mainly for the upper classes in Beirut. If you moved further from there, it wasn't as nice. This is normal in most countries; but it was also a high standard of living for a few. They also said that Lebanon didn't plan well enough their economy to adapt to change. And that some key banking business related to travelers with oil wealth, shifted, leading to economic decline. Which in turn helped foment internal divisions leading to the civil war.

Indeed .. and the situation in Lebanon now.. is a drama... poor Lebanon

[@dumbestyetfunniest7745]

It is so strange watching this video whilst currently living in disastrous Lebanon. It is such a shame

That’s why you never let Palestines in your country look what kind of trouble they Bring

[@rimabarakat8838]

I remember some of those scenes. It’s so real. The service and how they drive. Was that the St George poolside? One day Lebanon will recover because the Lebanese people love life. They will make it happen. They will force it to happen.

[@WilliamMatar]

I hope sooo much.. poor Lebanon where we arrive with this ugly administration of Lebanon

[@nicsa7152]

The people may recover, but the country is so demolished and overbuilt that there’s nothing left to recover.

E' il film le spie uccidono a beirut, come ha fatto una bella citta', che pareva Montecarlo con tutti quegli alberghi night club a ridursi nel modo peggiore che si possa immaginare? Da quando quasi mezzo secolo fa vi scoppio' la guerra civile, non e' la stessa, veramente non ho parole

Et la fille de Cadmos, Ino aux beaux talons, [...] partage les honneurs des Dieux dans les flots de la mer. Et elle prît en pitié Odysseus errant et accablé de douleurs. Et elle émergea de l'abîme, semblable à un plongeon, et, se posant sur le radeau, elle dit à Odysseus : Malheureux ! pourquoi Poséidon qui ebranle la terre est-il tant irrité contre toi qu'il t'accable cruellement de maux? [...]. Fais ce que je vais te dire, car tu ne me semble pas manquer de sagesse. Ayant rejeté les vêtements, abandonne le radeau aux vents et nage de tes bras jusqu'à la terre des Phaiakiens (Phéniciens), où tu dois être sauvé. Prends cette bandelette immortelle, étends-la sur ta poitrine et ne crains plus ni la douleur ni la mort. Dès que tu auras saisi le rivage de tes mains, tu la rejetteras au loin dans la sombre mer en te détournant. La Déesse, ayant ainsi parlé lui donna la bandelette, puis elle se replongea dans la mer tumultueuse [...]. Mais le patient et divin Odysseus hésitait [...] cette terre est encore très éloignée [...] mais je ferai ceci, et il me semble que c'est le plus sage : car je ne pourrai rien faire de mieux.[...] chant V page 70 et 71.
