Saida North Entrance
A grand entrance that celebrates the sea

Project description

The area selected to mark Saida’s Northern Entrance falls at the end of the Beirut/Saida expressway, meeting the new peripheral boulevard with the old municipal stadium. The suggested master plan revolved around the rehabilitation of the multipurpose Saida Municipal Stadium and the development of retail areas, a shopping mall, a seaside hotel and marina around it, turning it into an urban sporting complex. A thalassotherapy center was also planned, drawing on a nearby mineral water spring up the Awali River.
