Beirut is mostly known because of the civil war. Suicide bombing as a military tactic started here, the most notable case being the attack on U.S. and French Marines in 1983. This is really rather unfortunate, since the Beirutis themselves would prefer you ignored the occasional outbreaks of violence and focused on the important things--like Beirut's bustling business scene (because the city is in a good spot for trade, and also because the Lebanese diaspora gives it business contacts ''everywhere''), culture (numerous artists and publishers--the old chestnut in the Arab literary world is that UsefulNotes/{{Egypt}} writes, Lebanon prints, and UsefulNotes/{{Iraq}} reads), and nightlife (something for everyone: even if you don't drink, the coffeeshops can accommodate you with any herbal beverage you care to name...and sometimes other "herbal" items as well, if that's your thing). And don't forget the amazing restaurants--the Lebanese kitchen is famous the world over for good reason, and the Beirut restaurant scene shines at every level, from fancy sit-down places with napkins down to street stalls slinging kebab and falafel. Oh, and the outbreaks of warfare? [[BlackComedy Good for the construction business]].
