Monot Street in Achrafiyeh is one of Beirut's oldest and most charming areas, well known for its restaurants, night clubs and bohemian cafe culture.

At night the street is busy with revellers, clubbers and diners but by day visitors can relax in one of the street's many cosmopolitan cafes and enjoy a mint tea and perhaps a Nargila hubble-bubble pipe.
