Raouché
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raouché (also spelled Raouche) is a residential and commercial neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon. It is known for its upscale apartment buildings, numerous restaurants, cliff-side cafés and its wide seaside sidewalk, the Corniche, where strollers and joggers crowd the pavements in the evenings and weekends.[1].

Off the coast of Raouche, there is a natural landmark called the Pigeons' Rock (also known as the Rock of Raouche). Located at Beirut's western-most tip, the two huge rock formations, which stand like gigantic sentinels, are a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.[2]


Pigeons' Rock
Etymology
Some historians believe that the word "raouché" derives from the Aramaic word rosh, meaning head. Other historians argue that it is a corruption of the French word roche, meaning rock.


History
The shores near Raouché have yielded the area's oldest evidence of human existence, flints and basic stone tools, which are displayed in the AUB Archaeological Museum.
