National Geographic listed the city of Beirut among the Top 10 New Year’s Eve celebrations list, which also included New York, Las Vegas, London, Paris, Madrid, Tokyo, Christmas Island and Sydney.
In its description for the celebrations in the Lebanese capital, National Geographic wrote:
“Each New Year brings a promise of peace in the capital of formerly war-torn Lebanon. Thousands gather to watch the light show on the city’s 1933 art deco clock tower in Nejmeh Square, the heart of central Beirut. At midnight, couples kiss and fireworks burst, shining over a mix of floodlit church steeples and mosque minarets in this eclectic Levantine metropolis.”
