Beirut is the capital and largest city of Lebanon, home to approximately 2.4 million residents in the greater area. It operates on Eastern European Time (EET/EEST). Beirut has been continuously inhabited for over 5,000 years and was once known as the 'Paris of the Middle East' for its cosmopolitan culture, café society, and nightlife. The city's modern history has been profoundly shaped by the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) and a series of subsequent conflicts. On August 4, 2020, a catastrophic explosion of improperly stored ammonium nitrate at the Beirut Port killed over 200 people, injured 7,000, and left 300,000 homeless in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. Lebanon's economic and political crises have deeply impacted Beirut, yet its resilient population continues to rebuild. The city remains a regional hub for arts, media, banking, and gastronomy — Lebanese cuisine (hummus, tabbouleh, kibbeh, fattoush) is one of the Middle East's most globally beloved.
