Beirut Transportation

From Beirut Airport to the city and other destinations around Beirut, the mostly used type of transport is taxi and cars but there is no public transportation. You may choose to use LCC Bus Route 1, which drops you at Rue Sadat in Hamra. If you take LCC Bus Route 5, you will be dropped at Charles Helou bus station and take another bus to the city. As you can see, it is very complicated and stressful mostly for visitors. You do not have to worry though because, you can navigate the city of Beirut and its regions on your own schedule with affordable car hire from a reliable car rental company at Beirut Airport.

What to See and Do

• Baalbek is arguably the home of the largest Roman Temple in the world. I hope you would visit to ascertain that. Here is a massive site of ruins that is well preserved from both Roman and other civilizations. If you are lucky enough to visit in summer, there are several festivals here with famous entertainers.
• Appreciate the value of peace at the Reminder of War, which is an iconic building in the city and reminds people of how ugly the civil war can be. The building is still structurally strong even after it was bombed severally during the war.
• If arts drive you crazy, then Saifi Village is a place to visit. If you have a rental vehicle from Beirut Airport, plan a day trip to the village, which is commonly referred to as La Quartier des Arts because of its amazing artisan shops, several art galleries and antique stores. This is actually, where art lives.
• For a relaxing day by the sea, Beirut can never disappoint you. La Guava is an ideal resort to have fun like never before. It takes care of all ages and there is a deep pool for adults and a small one for children. It would be easier if you have a car rented from Beirut Airport since it is outside the city, approximately 20 minutes drive.
