I went back to Talal's New Hotel by taxi.
At evening, I went to Rue Gemaizeh in Ashrafiyyeh district, busiest night street in Beirut.
It's only 5 minutes walk from Talal's New Hotel.
Very stylish restaurants and bars lined on both side of the street, it was so fun.

Beirut security seemed very good as far as I stayed there.

Next day, I went to Baalbek, Greek and Roman ruins in central Lebanon.
