Beirut lights up for the new year
Long torn apart by war, Beirut adorns itself for an evening with a veil of hope, peace and love. On the occasion of the New Year, thousands of people gathered in Nejmeh Square in the heart of the highly decorated Lebanese capital to watch a spectacular show.
The highlight of the show is at midnight, when the fireworks ring out in the city and illuminate every Lebanese citizen who came to celebrate the New Year, but also every religious building, churches and mosques, true symbols of the country’s diversity. You now know where to spend your 2020 New Year’s Eve.
