Ain El Mraisseh is in Beirut, along Beirut's coastal Corniche, which stretches for several kilometers. It is only a few minutes away from the renovated city center. This district was famous for its nightlife in the early 1970s and is attempting to regain its reputation. It has the highest concentration of luxury hotels in Beirut and hosts internationally recognized coffee shops.

A popular Beirut promenade along the Mediterranean that follows the path of the former Avenue des Français lined with palm trees whose trunks still bear the bullet hole scars from Lebanon's civil wartime. The corniche runs from Saint George Bay in the northeast, around Ras Beirut, and then on to the Raouche sector where the Pigeon Rocks are. A place to sightsee and watch the fisherman or jog.
A Beiruti native's gourmet paradise, this fusion restaurant serves up fresh fish and organic vegetables, so it is focused on the healthy and delicious. The setting is funky, colourful and the crowd extremely in. Sunday brunches are good, if a little overrated, especially in summer when the balcony overlooking the Mediterranean is open.
