context_section_description: In 1990–2000, al-Jdayde—noted for its winding narrow alleys, richly decorated mansions and churches—became an area of significant cultural, historical and tourist interest for national and international visitors.  An ever-present scent of flowers, especially Jasmin, was said to permeate the area.
  Many of the neighbourhood's historic palaces were revitalised as museums, boutique hotels and restaurants. Some of the most important historic buildings of the al-Jdayde quarter include: Beit Wakil, Beit Ghazaleh, Dar Zamaria, Beit Achiqbash, Beit Sader, Beit Sissi, Dar Basile and Beit Dallal.
  Jdayde's two squares, Sahat Farhat and Sahat Al Hatab were also renovated during this period.
