The story

Batroun Photo Exhibition in Batroun

The Batroun Photo exhibition opens each August 1 and runs for a month within the Old Souk, turning the historic lanes into an open-air gallery as part of the Batroun International Festival. Past editions have featured photographers including Elie Bekhazi, Frederic Stucin, and Michel Zoghzoghi across wildlife, street, and experimental styles, alongside a parallel show at Dar Al Mona by artists Omar Gabriel and Omar Al Bakeer.

Opening every August 1, the Batroun Photo exhibition transforms the town's Old Souk into a month-long open-air gallery, opening on August 1 as part of the wider Batroun International Festival's summer program.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike most of the Batroun International Festival's ticketed concerts and single-evening events, the photo exhibition runs for a full month and requires no ticket, making it one of the most accessible and flexible ways to engage with the town's summer festival programming

02

The mystery stays covered

Displaying photography directly within the working Old Souk, rather than in a dedicated gallery, means visitors encounter the exhibition organically while shopping, eating, or simply walking through town
