Description
The road that runs along the Mediterranean in Beirut is called the Corniche. The American University of Beirut, established in 1866, overlooks the sea and the Corniche. Beirutis love to promenade along this beautiful waterfront. They go here for exercise, children's play, a coffee break that can last all morning, or just to enjoy the fresh air. In this nostalgic image, the artist casts his eye back to the times when vendors of all sorts would hawk local street food such as qak or corn on the cob.
