Beirut through the lens of a Pan Am stewardess in the 60s

By Rami on August 7, 2013 in Lebanon

This video with highlights from Hong Kong, Beirut, Bangkok and Tehran was compiled by a stewardess called Mary Lou Bigelow throughout her service with Pan American Airways between 1962 and 1964.

You can start watching the part from Beirut at the 7m23s mark with scenes from Beirut Airport, Raouche, Manara, Phoenicia Hotel and water skiing in Saint Georges Hotel.

Everytime I watch an old video of Beirut, I wish I was born earlier to live the golden era of this city!

PS So sad to watch the demolition of the infamous World Port at Kennedy, and sadder still that no one, no one stepped in to stop it. Best
