- Old City & Souks0
The Mamluk core — covered souks, khans, hammams, and the climb to the citadel. Wood ovens and coffee roasters sit in lanes barely wide enough for two people.
- El-Mina6
The port quarter, which keeps a different clock to the rest of the city. Fish comes off the boats in the morning and onto the coals by evening.
- Tell0
The square with the clock tower, where the whole city passes through. Sweets houses, kaak carts and the five-in-the-morning breakfast tables.
- Zahrieh2
Just east of the centre, where the shops serve the neighbourhood rather than the visitor — which is usually where the better food is.
- Qobbeh0
Uphill and residential. The ovens here open early and close when the trays are empty.
- Abu Samra6
Where the neighbourhood buys trays by the kilo for weddings, and where sweets are made in volume rather than for display.
- Bahsas1
South along the coast, where the city thins out and the only sound is water.
