Saifi Village is an upscale residential neighbourhood in Beirut, Lebanon. Saifi Village is located at the southeastern periphery of Centre Ville. The village is bordered by Rue Charles Debbas to the south, Rue George Haddad to the east, Rue Gouraud to the north and Rue Ariss & Kanaani to the west. Its location is at the beginning of the former Green Line, which was the main frontline in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War.
The neighborhood was completely destroyed during the war in Lebanon. However, private company
New Urbanist-style neighborhood with cobblestone streets, apartment buildings, townhouses and shops.[1] The shops range from a combination of designer shops to car dealerships such as Ferrari. It is also the home of a few art galleries and new uprising Lebanese designer shops, including Bokja Design, Nada Debs, and Vick Vanlian Gallery. The village also includes gardens that are filled with seasonal shrubs, flowers, and trees. It is also a place for family gatherings due to the presence of children playgrounds and wooden benches and fountains for the full park experience. Extensive deployment of private security is here, however, a serious deterrent for undesired lower-income families and visitors as in other Solidere-managed development projects such as Zaytounay Bay.
