The city of Beirut welcomes visitors with a stunning set of rocks, known as Pigeon Rocks or the Rock of Raouché. Located at the western-most tip of Beirut, these rocks are a natural landmark and a popular hangout spot for locals and tourists alike. Pigeons often take refuge along the rock walls and in a cave known as "Pigeon Cave." The area surrounding the rocks is referred to as "Raouche," a phonetic Arabic transformation of the French word "rocher," meaning "rock."
The two huge rock formations stand like gigantic sentinels, surrounded by a rocky wasteland called Dalieh. This vast terrain has acted as an open-access shared space for a wide variety of city dwellers for decades.
The limestone arches are the focal point of this popular Beiruti spot, and visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the promenade and explore the inlets and caves in the cliff.
