Twinned with Beirut
16 of 22 in this atlas
Beirut's twinning ties, as recorded in this atlas, span a wide geographic range, from neighboring Damascus and Baghdad to more distant partners like Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, and Los Angeles. Most pairings are mutual, with both cities naming each other, while the link to Moscow stands out as one-sided. Regional and diaspora connections both appear among the listed municipalities.
