{"product_id":"beirut-habibi","title":"Beirut Habibi","description":"Perched on a peninsula reaching into the Mediterranean, Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, has been a Phoenician port, Roman colony, Ottoman jewel, and French mandate. Each era left its mark. Mediterranean in its geography, Western in its cafes and boulevards, yet profoundly Arab and Levantine in its soul, this is a city that has always attracted seekers: artists, writers, intellectuals, drawn to the magnetic blend of Eastern and Western traditions.\n\nBeirut is a city shaped by history, culture, and an enduring spirit of reinvention. After the civil war came to an end in 1990, the city has continued to evolve, preserving its rich heritage while embracing new creative energy. From the Sursock family's palace, a symbol of old Beirut's aristocratic elegance, to the bustling souks and the dramatic Raouche rock formations overlooking the Mediterranean, the city is a captivating blend of contrasts. Lemon trees perfume narrow streets, while cafes, galleries, restaurants, and boutiques bring new life to historic neighborhoods such as Gemmayze. Elie Saab's couture ateliers bring Beirut's elegance to global runways, proving the city's creative spirit endures.\n\nLinen hardcover. 304 pages, over 150 illustrations. Text by Charif Majdalani.","brand":"Assouline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54488000758070,"sku":"9781649804532","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/7208\/2230\/files\/BEIRUTHabibi_Classic003_jpg.webp?v=1788545181","url":"https:\/\/shop-millercollective.com\/products\/beirut-habibi","provider":"Miller Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
