    Sometimes, we wonder what Beirut looked like before! If you have ever checked your grandparent’s photo album, you know that old Beirut looked way different than the modern one. With a tramway, a different architectural style, and more souks, old Beirut is certainly beautiful and worth  to be more appreciated.
