EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint George Bay, also known as the Bay of Beirut or Golfe de Beyrouth, is a natural harbor located in the heart of Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon. This stunning photograph, taken circa 1940, captures the breathtaking panorama of the bay with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean Sea. The rooftop of St. Georges Hotel, a historic landmark, can be seen on the left-hand side of the image. The hotel, with its elegant Art Deco design, has been a symbol of Beirut's rich history and cosmopolitan charm for decades. The bay is surrounded by hills and mountains, providing a picturesque backdrop to the bustling cityscape. The houses and buildings perched on the hills offer a contrast to the tranquil waters of the bay. The hills and mountains also serve as a natural barrier, protecting the city from the harsh winds and waves of the Mediterranean Sea. The port of Beirut, located at the northern end of the bay, has played a significant role in the city's history as a major trading center. The photograph captures the bustling activity of the port, with ships anchored in the harbor and cargo being unloaded onto the docks. Saint George Bay is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a variety of activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The bay's natural beauty and historic significance make it a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to Lebanon. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Beirut and its stunning coastline.
