This photograph, taken circa 1918, captures a moment in time as the Beirut (Beyrouth) River (Nahr) in Lebanon flows gently towards the city. To the left of the image, the river's tranquil waters meet the bustling scene of construction. The railway tracks, a vital mode of transportation during this era, stretch along the riverbank, while the road Boulevard du Nahr is undergoing development. Mount Lebanon's hills and mountains, including the prominent hill in the background, provide a picturesque backdrop to this scene of progress. The railway tracks, a vital artery of transportation, are a testament to the region's connectivity and economic growth during the early 20th century.

The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity that defines Lebanon.
