Beirut's nightlife has always received international praise for being the biggest and brightest in the region ... and now the city is taking its party reputation one step further.

In collaboration with Nurai Beirut, a nightclub located in Monot Steet, Beirut, Lebanon's Ministry of Tourism is holding a 56-hour long party. 

The two-day-and-a-half event plans to break the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous party, a record previously held by Dublin, Ireland that saw people partying for 54 hours non-stop. 

"Nurai Beirut was chosen by the Ministry of Tourism to conduct a 56 hours non-stop live bands event to break the Guinness records worldwide!" the Beirut-based nightclub tweeted. 

The event is set to take place between Aug. 28 and Aug. 30. 

The party will be monitored by the Guinness World Record committee to ensure all guidelines are met. 

Artists, live bands, singers, and DJs will be performing non-stop at the event. 

The Ministry of Tourism will provide transportation to and from the location.  

Six buildings in Jeddah's historic town, Al Balad, caught fire on Tuesday night, three of which eventually collapsed to the ground. 

Following the blaze, at least 60 people were forced to evacuate the buildings. Six people in total - 5 firefighters and a Saudi man - were left injured. Luckily, no one died. 

More than a dozen firefighting and rescue teams from Jeddah’s General Directorate of Civil Defense helped put out the fire. 

"Rescue teams managed Tuesday evening to evacuate about 60 people to safe areas, while firefighters extinguished the blaze that broke out at the front of six buildings, all of which were populated and within the historic area," said Col. Saeed Sarhan, civil defense spokesman in the region of Mecca, according to Arab News.

Firefighters managed to contain around 80 percent of the fire. 

The affected buildings, according to Arab News, include Al-Qumsani, Al-Ashmawi and Abdel-Aal. Though the buildings were old, they were all inhabited, according to Gulf News. 

The fire reportedly broke out in a 4-story brick building made of mud and coral limestone and roofed with wood. The fire then spread to other buildings through wooden beams, according to Arab News. 

The Saudi town of Al-Balad was first founded in the 7th century and has since been seen as the center of Jeddah - being both a trading center and the gateway for Muslim pilgrims going to Mecca. 

Al-Balad has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2014, five years after the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities nominated it for the position.
