General Tips: Bab al-Faraj clocktower

Favorite Thing: This Baroque-styled clocktower is the main landmark in the more modern Bab al-Faraj area of the city. All lighted up, it makes for great photo opportunities at night, and at daytime, a reference point. To the east is the sprawling Sheraton complex, which only opened in February 2007, and further, Al Jdeida, the Christian quarter. North of the clocktower is Al Azizieh, an upmarket residential neighborhood with some good restaurants like Challal. West of the clock tower leads you to Sharia Baron (Baron St), so named because of the historic Baron Hotel there, where you could stop by for drinks at their historic bar.
