Rachid Karami International Fair Complex The complex is the brainchild of the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Nemeyer, the designer / builder of Brazilia the capital of Brazil, and the pride of the Brazilian nation. Although the design of the complex was complex was completed in the late fifties, yet the genius of this avant-guard architect is clearly demonstrated by the futuristic shapes of the facilities that were built.

delicate arch which distinguish the fair grounds by its height and elegance, the open air theater which looks like it is floating on water, in addition to the Lebanese touch as represented with emphatic delicateness by the light arches in the Lebanese pavilion, leaves the spectator with the distinct impression of a 21 century of a 21 century city in action.
