About this cemetery
This is the only Jewish cemetery in Beirut. It lies close to Sodeco Square in the Achrafieh district and is entered by a gate on Damascus Street. It has about 3,500 graves on two plots covering more than 10,000 square metres. It was founded in 1820. Heavy rain has damaged the cemetery, causing part of its wall to collapse and breaking several graves. The cemetery can be reached by phone on +961 78 862 140.
