Al Souq Al Oumoumi السوق العمومي

“A simple, ordinary street, with buildings and houses … brothel houses.”

Beirut residents were persuaded that this street was intended to protect local families from indecency. It was named ‘Al-Mutanabbi” street.

Between reality and fiction, the tales of downtown Beirut’s red-light district are recounted through the perspective of the most famous patronesses during the pre-war era.
