Default Beirut picked among the 44 places to visit in 2009 by NY Times - 11th January 2009

perhaps the short description omits a lot about Beirut and Lebanon but this is very nice to hear...

I like the pic, so Beirut is famous in the Masjid that's why it is number one?
They are labeling Beirut a Sunnite capital, excellent ad

ouf, no you're wrong! Actually it's Hariri who labeled Beirut in the world. He's the one who bought Solidere and built it as he wanted to be now!!!
