Beirut isn’t built for walking… or is it? Between the chaos, the hills, and the views, walking here becomes more than just movement — it’s therapy, community, and discovery. Whether you’re trying to hit your 10k steps or just reconnect with the city, here’s how to make walking in Beirut your new favorite ritual.
1. Start Small, Stay Consistent
Don’t overthink it. Start with 15–20 minutes a day — maybe after your morning coffee or as your “scroll break.”
Consistency beats intensity. Once you make walking a habit, it stops feeling like effort and starts feeling like clarity.
💡 Pro tip: Track your steps on your phone for a week. Seeing progress is addictive.
2. Walk Where It Feels Good
Pick areas that make you want to keep going. The Corniche at sunset, Gemmayze early mornings, or Mar Mikhael on quiet Sundays. Beirut has its magic hours — find yours.
3. Make It Social
Everything’s better with company. Grab a friend, your mom, or your playlist and make walking a shared moment.
It’s not just exercise — it’s connection. That’s why we built &i: to move together, not alone.

4. Dress the Part
You don’t need gym gear — you need comfort and confidence.
Throw on your favorite &i set and step out. Our leggings are made to move with you (and look good doing it).
When you feel good in what you’re wearing, walking becomes a lifestyle, not a task.
5. Romanticize the Routine
Bring your headphones, pick your playlist, and notice everything — the sea breeze, the chaos, the rhythm of the streets.
Beirut might not have perfect sidewalks, but it has soul.
Walking here feels alive — unpredictable, real, and grounding.
Conclusion
Walking in Beirut is more than steps — it’s self-care disguised as movement.
Start slow, stay consistent, and wear something that reminds you to keep going.
Where are you walking today — Corniche, Mar Mikhael, or somewhere new?
