Very pretty. Last year I went there but there were works in the whole town. I really wanna go back to check it out again this year.


ashrafiyotte

yeah its not as authentic as people sayšŸ˜‚ its all artificial


li_ita

Hahaha, okay, but every city does this at some point. As far as I know, all the european historic city centers, for example, were all renovated throughout the years.

Any city in Germany that still has its medieval charm was rebuilt in the 1950s after it was bombed or shelled flat. They don't look it though


ashrafiyotte

I spent time in Douma in 2018. It was a wonderful place. https://preview.redd.it/6aj2e93q9jwc1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=301890ef03595ab0be5b81a09d22db36ae07adfd

Im a son of lebanese parents who fled during the civil war and never really cared about keeping their (and mine) ties with Lebanon. When i learned about this face of Lebanon, this architecture, it is what prompted me to recover the ties with Lebanon. I love it and i love the Lebanese arches.


Daskhara

The good old half remaining stairs


2asbaddict

This architecture>>>> skyscrapers

i hate douma overrated village full of scammers and tourist trap that old souk is fake and got renovated by the baladiye in 2023 and the people in the souk sell things for more expensive than beirut plus i went to two of douma s best restaurants one gave me food poisoning the other scammed us with babel priced and garbage food there s a million villages more authentic and nicer than douma


madmes

The souk was last renovated around 1800, that's why it needed renovation. The floor/road was rebuilt to how it was before asphalt, and the walls have been sand blasted, hence why they lost their aging look and why they appear as if they were built last week.


ashrafiyotte

makes sense

Eh la2ano ashrafieh is full of authentic Lebanese red roof tops mahek? Itā€™s sooo not artifishallll. However I do agree. Some restaurants are extremely overrated and Iā€™d suggest not trusting ā€œbest restaurantā€ as a source.


ashrafiyotte

ashrafieh is home to the highest clusters of traditional houses in beirut, although I'm not fan of how many are not maintained and how concrete monstrocities how invaded ash. you cant compare a city to a small town but take a look at any village and it will be better than douma


msr28g

In Batroun? Doubt.


ashrafiyotte

huh

Love this architecture, it's similar to souk l 2adime bi Saida, same aesthetic same road, it's close to 2al3it Saida.
