With texts prepared in three languages (Arabic, French and English) these panels are illustrated with historic maps, photographs and drawings.
The circuit will start at the Beirut Souks, which retain the 2,500-year-old ancient street grid and Ottoman access gates, and incorporate several archeological remains including the Phoenico-Persian Quarter, the City Wall and Moat, the restored Mamluk Zawiyat Ibn Arraq and Al-Majidiyyeh Mosque.
One has been reconstructed and laid in the modern souks close to its original alignment within the colonnade of the Roman street that once led through Bab Idriss Square, gateway to the Hippodrome in Wadi Abou Jamil.
Leaving Beirut Souks, the trail leads south past Emir Munzer Mosque and onto the Roman Baths Garden and public space, through Riad Al Solh Square to the Grand Theatre, Lebanon and the southern end of the colonnaded Maarad Street (Rue Maarad).
Behind these lies the Nouriya chapel (Sayyidat al-Nouriyyeh) at a focal overlook to the planned Hadiqat As-Samah (Garden of Forgiveness).
