Zanzoun

Zanzoun · The place

While the older residences of Beirut are often evoked with nostalgia, there remain a few hidden pearls scattered across Beirut, waiting to be discovered. Zanzoun is one such example; a haven in the heart of Mar Mikhael. Walking into its garden is an encounter with the Beirut of the past. The quietude of an unexpected courtyard, stairs that reveal a jewel so delicately restored, it appears that light itself seeks refuge behind its archways.
