Composed of buildings surrounded by gardens and ponds, the Rashid Karami International Fair was designed in the 1960s by the famous architect of the city of Brasilia, the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer.
The fairgrounds are considered a masterpiece not only in Lebanon but in the entire region. The main building of the fair, made of reinforced concrete, consists of a huge hall in the shape of a boomerang.
This space is 750 meters long by 70 meters wide and can house both the most important and luxury exhibitions.
While its total area reaches 1 million square meters, it includes a 120,000-square-meter garden, a 20,000-square-meter pond, 20,000-square-meter exhibition and conference halls, and an area of about 20,000-square-meters. that can be included and used in the exhibition hall.
In a statement, UNESCO stated that with the aim of restoring, protecting and bringing to life the fairgrounds in a way that serves Tripoli, Lebanon and the region, Lebanon has allowed Lebanon to demonstrate the global importance of the fair and work to improve your situation.
