It is one of the oldest cities in the world, having been inhabited for more than 5000 years. The first historical mention of Beirut is found in the Amama letters from the New Kingdom of Egypt, which date to the 15th century BC. Beirut is Lebanon’s seat of government and plays a central role in the Lebanese economy, with most banks and corporations based in its Central District, Badaro, Rue Verdun, Hamra, Ryad el Soloh street, and Achrafieh. Following the destructive Lebanese Civil War, Beirut’s cultural landscape underwent major reconstruction.
