Panoramic views from Lebanon

I came across this profile on Gigapan today by a Lebanese photographer called Karim Saad who shoots cool panoramic scenes in Lebanon and the UAE.

My favorite among his work was this huge panorama of Beirut Central District.

Double click on the photo or use your mouse wheel to zoom in. The shots are so clear that you can even see the car plates numbers.

In this Panorama you can browse and discover a lot of landmarks as well as the beautiful architecture of Beirut downtown.

3- Al Amine Mosque
4- Hariri Burial site
5- St. Georges Church
6- Beirut Ports
7- Holiday Inn Hotel
8- UN Headquarters
9- Burj el Murr, Starco, An Nahar, Virgin, Burj Al Ghazal, UFA buildings and many others…

Also on the far right, you will see a big part of the Lebanese coast including:

1- La Marina Joseph Khoury
2- Zouk Power Plant
3- Rimal, Holiday Beach, Aquamarina, Tabarja…
4- Notre Dame du Liban also know as Harissa

If you can’t find them on the map, they are all snapshot. All you have to do is to hover the mouse over the image a check the name. Good hunting!

Make sure to also check other panoramas he did of Kesrawan and Sannine Mountain, the Cedars, and Jounieh Bay.
