Finding Your Way Around Beirut

A fun video on CNN about about Beirut’s “first street atlas”. It highlights Zawarib Beirut, a quirky, fun but useful guide to the streets of Beirut.

This seems like an odd choice of a business to be highlighted by CNN’s “Future Cities” project. Sooner or later, Zawarib in its present form will be killed by Google maps and other online location services. Lebanon’s mobile internet is starting to become faster and more ubiquitous, so they have to adapt quickly. (Thanks Hatem)
