DAWAWINE: A POLYVALENT SPACE

- 01 567705, Gemmayzeh, Tue-sun 11am-11pm

The brainchild of publisher and author Sara Sehnaoui, Dawawine is Beirut’s latest cultural center that includes a library and a bookstore. The venue, designed by architect Jihad Kiamé, consists of an open space with various sections: a bistro (open every day from 10.30am to 11pm with a European menu), a bookstore devoted to theater, cinema, music and performing arts, a library, a 32-seat screening room, and a conference room. The airy space is punctuated by low-slung sofas, and includes a terrace.
