The Raouche Rocks, also known as Pigeon Rocks, are a natural landmark in Beirut, Lebanon, consisting of two giant rock formations standing tall in the Mediterranean Sea. These iconic rocks are best viewed from the Corniche, Beirut's seaside promenade, and offer stunning sunset views. Accessibility is generally good along the Corniche, though getting closer to the rocks may involve uneven terrain. A visit can be easily done solo, enjoying the scenic views and taking photos, or as part of a guided tour of Beirut. There are no specific seasonal restrictions, but the experience is most enjoyable during pleasant weather. A visit is typically free, although nearby cafes and restaurants may incur costs. The duration of a typical visit ranges from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on how long you wish to admire the view and explore the surroundings. Boat trips around the rocks are also available for a closer look.
