Beirut, Lebanon

This one is an interesting postcard. It shows Beirut, Lebanon but was sent from Finland (I received it from a tag on the postcrossing forum). Also, on the back of the card it says this is a view of "Modern Beirut", but it certainly isn't "modern" anymore. This looks like a proper vintage postcard, I'd say it was possibly printed in the 1980s or even earlier.



Anyway, this is a general view of Beirut, showing big hotels of the Lebanese Riviera. The city has probably changed a lot since this picture was taken, and I don't know what the war has caused...

I suspected it would probably not look like that anymore. It's an interesting glimpse to the past, though.
