 * Mar Gerios Maronite church

 *Wadi Abou Jmil..(.where the army may not let us take photos or pass next to the synagogue..!! so we can either go back or change the path.)

Then we continue toward:

* Al Jame3 al Omari

* The municipality of Beirut, passing in front of the samir kassir's garden and Al-Nahar building.

Then we walk toward the martyr's square and finally we reach Gemmayze again.
