We went to Aabey to discover Beit Abey, but the pleasure of the visit was as much about Hania and Naji Boustany as the beautiful houses they have brought back to life. Their love of heritage, art and sharing it all with others made this a wonderfully personal encounter.

Hania and Naji Boustany are one of the loveliest couples you could meet. They welcomed us into their summer retreat in Aabey, a village whose rich history, beautiful landscape and remarkable old houses deserve a visit of their own.

A passionate lover of heritage, Naji restored two historic mansions with origins dating back to the 16th century, giving them a renewed place in village life. One became the couple’s summer home; the other, a charming guesthouse where visitors and friends can share their affection for this place.

The architecture invites you to slow down and notice: thick stone walls, vaulted ceilings, pointed doorways and graceful triple arched windows opening onto wooden balconies. Inside, the old stone gives the rooms a warmth that Hania has made unmistakably her own.

Her passion for art, decorative objects and interior design is present in every room. Carefully chosen furniture, colourful ceramics, paintings, patterned fabrics and playful accessories bring personality to the historic spaces. A dressmaker’s mannequin wearing a hat, a collection of green vessels, pink chairs beside a courtyard table: each detail reveals an eye for beauty and a willingness to have fun with it.

And then there was lunch. Beneath a magnificent stone vault, a long table dressed with botanical prints, flowers, candles and beautifully arranged place settings awaited us. Hania’s attention to detail extended naturally from the rooms to the table, and from the table to the way we were looked after.

Thank you, Hania and Naji, for an unforgettable day, a wonderful lunch and the pleasure of your company. You opened your doors with such warmth that, almost immediately, we felt at home. taken in Aabey by @omars.harb

USEK students discovered the Rachid Karami International Fair, and listened to many stories and noticed the difference of each building scale, and assembled the main idea of the whole complex.
Thank you @wassimnaghi for your outcome by @omars.harb

What made the Hamra Tour so special was not only the places we visited, but the community that came together to explore, listen, remember and share.

A day filled with architecture, discoveries, memories and conversations, reminding us why Hamra holds such an important place in Beirut’s story.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this experience so memorable.

This is why we keep walking. taken in Hamra Street, Beirut by @omars.harb

What if the buildings of Hamra could tell us their stories?

Join us on Wednesday, September 16 for a mobile architectural conference where architecture, urban memory and pop culture come together.

From iconic modernist buildings and legendary cinemas to memorable landmarks, we’ll walk through the Hamra we remember — and discover the Hamra we may have overlooked.

The journey begins at 9:30 AM at District 7, Saifi, with a bus taking us to Hamra. The walk starts at 10:00 AM, followed by a lunch break at 12:30 PM and a conversation at 1:00 PM with architect Omar Harb, storyteller and researcher Tarek Kawa, and Elie Aramouny, revisiting Hamra’s golden years through architecture, cinema, music and pop culture.

And along the way, we’ll ask:

Has Beirut lost its beauty, or has it simply moved with the times?
