Getting There

Walking

From the center of Hamra, head towards the seafront. You can start at Hamra Street, which is a major thoroughfare lined with shops and cafes. Walk west on Hamra Street until you reach the end where it meets the Corniche (the seaside promenade). This walk will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
Walking

Once you reach the Corniche, turn left and walk along the promenade. You will enjoy the views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding area. Continue walking along the Corniche for about 10-15 minutes until you reach Al Raouche Rocks, which will be visible from the promenade. Look for the iconic rock formations rising from the sea.
Public Transport

Alternatively, if you prefer public transport, you can take a shared taxi (service taxi) from Hamra to the Corniche. Look for a service taxi that is headed towards Raouche. The fare is typically around 2,000 to 5,000 LBP (Lebanese Pounds), depending on your negotiation skills. Once you reach the Corniche, you can follow the same walking directions mentioned above.
