About Beirut
Beirut - The Paris of the Middle East
With an atmosphere that represents the real East that meets West, Beirut stands as the capital and the largest city of Lebanon with a population of more than 1 million and covers an area of 19.8 km².
Beirut dates back to more than 5,000 years ago which makes it one of the oldest cities in the world. Despite its suffering due to many wars and unrest, its energy, soul and diversity atmosphere make it survive and rebuild several times, with excellent museums, famous cuisine, historical landmarks, wonderful restaurants, and vibrant nightlife so it has earned the right to call itself "the city that would not die". It has also become a mix clash of old and new, conservative and liberal, east and west.
Beirut is the center of commercial, financial, touristic and artistic activities and the seat of the national government of the country. It is also Lebanon's beating heart and the spot where the natives and foreigners meet, that you cannot count the languages being spoken in its streets.
Get a nicely-priced flight to Beirut with Almosafer and get to know the best time to visit the city.
Beirut is a ‘go anytime’ destination due to its quite moderate climate, but we recommend visiting it during the Autumn (October–November) when the temperature become cool in the mountains (20°C) and the weather on the coast become warm which makes it a good time for exploring Lebanon and being outside the main tourist seasons will give you the possibility to find the cheapest hotel deals and Beirut flights.
The dry summer season (June–September) tends to be popular with visitors but it is distinguished for the extremely hot and humid on the coast with temperature rising to an average of 30°C and higher which is fine for those who want to spend their trip on the beaches.
The winter (Dec-March) has cold weather and the temperature averages between (11- 18°C) which makes it more pleasant than in summer, but this season is always accompanied by heavy rains. On the other hand, it is a perfect season for those who are interested in skiing as the temperatures in the mountains range from around (–5 to 5°C).
