About Play Beirut

Made by the Lebanese, for the Lebanese, with a better Lebanon in mind. 🇱🇧

We are building it to support our country and to bring life back to the heart of Beirut.

Beirut has lived through wars, explosions, destruction, reconstruction, uncertainty and loss. Inside Play Beirut we want to preserve something: a Beirut where the streets remain unharmed.

Where the Corniche is always there waiting for you. Where you can sit at Ain el Mreisseh and look at the sea. Where the taxis still drive you crazy. Where people argue, laugh, drink coffee, eat, walk, talk to strangers, and somehow make a whole evening out of doing absolutely nothing.

A little digital place where our memories don’t have to be destroyed with the buildings around them. Whether you’re in Beirut or thousands of kilometres away, you can always come back.

What comes next

We work on it every night, rebuilding streets and adding life to them. More ways to play are coming.
