Beirut (Arabic: بÙرÙت transliterated: BayrÅ«t) is the capital, largest city, and chief seaport of Lebanon. It is sometimes known by its French name, Beyrouth. The city has a population of 1.2 million people in the city proper and 2.1 million people in the surrounding metropolitan areas.
It is the commercial center of the region and was sometimes called "the Paris of the Middle East" because of its cosmopolitan atmosphere prior to the Lebanese Civil War. Beirut has undergone major reconstruction in recent years and is set to host the Jeux de la Francophonie (Francophone Games) in 2009.

Beirut has a history of destruction and reconstruction. 8 times in History , Beirut was reconstructed after wars. Its a desperate case.
It is the capital of a tiny country (10.000Km2) called lebanon. 45% christians westernized people, 55% mixture of moslems out of which 40% of Shiites. population (3.5 million out of which 400 thousand palestinian refugees, and 500.000 syrian workers) Lebanon is a historical parking of ethnies and religions who managed to make this country a living miracle. It is predated by both Syria and Israel for its financial and commercial successes.
