This fascinating palace was constructed by Prince Mohamed Ali Toufic, the fourth grandson of the renowned Mohamed Ali Pasha, the founder of Egypt's most recent royal dynasty, which was concluded by King Farouk.

Prince Mohamed Ali served as the heir presumptive and chief regent of the Egyptian throne for a significant period but never ascended to rule himself.

The palace and all its annexes bear witness to a remarkable display of luxury, featuring carefully crafted decorations and ornate details.

A visit is highly recommended.

This might be the ever biggest hypermarket in Lebanon, spacious and rich with products in all fields.
You find all at one single level, the ground floor. The parking is free, regardless of your bill, with the only inconvenient is that it is not covered, but really this is of minor importance.

Very comfortable center for shopping, and even for hanging around after work or during the weekend in Beirut.
You have many brands for clothing and other stuff. There is a food square, also various coffee shops, including Starbucks. My favorite is Simit Sarayi, where you can have a delicious quick bite with drink at affordable price.

Nice coffee shop .
Warm ambiance to spend sometime reading a book bought from adjacent Antoine book store.
They even have a large table in the center, where students can plug in their computers and do their assignments.
Intellectuals are easily visible.
