Off the coast of Raouché, there is a natural landmark called the Pigeons' Rock (also known as the Rock of Raouché), consisting of two rock formations.[1]
The word raouche comes from the French word “rocher”, which means rock.
The shores near Raouché have yielded the area's oldest evidence of human existence, flints and basic stone tools, which are displayed in the American University of Beirut Archaeological Museum.
The area adjacent to Raouché, called 'Dalieh', is presently in the process of being sold to real-estate developers.[2] A campaign was started early 2014 against the privatization of Raouché and the adjacent area-called al-Dalieh-which was initially titled "The last that remains".
