Dalieh is a natural area right next to Raouche. It's a short hike from the sidewalk down towards the sea.
Public spaces are rare in Beirut, so Dalieh gets especially crowded on a warm day.
The bay cliff goes downward, it's a very scenic walk.
Spring flowers frame the iconic Raouche rock, and Beirut's tall buildings line up atop the cliff.
In recent years, Dalieh was closed and fenced for real estate purposes. Activists worked hard to stop destroying Dalieh and tore the fence down.
The far end of Dalieh delicately merges into the sea.
A fisherman insists on fishing past sunset.
