Beirut-Rafic Al Hariri International Airport (BEY)

The guide was updated:
Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) is located just 9 kilometres south of Beirut’s bustling city centre. This proximity allows travellers to reach the heart of Beirut in just 15 to 20 minutes by car. While taxis or ride-sharing apps are the primary mode of transport from the airport, adventurous travellers can also opt for shared minibuses that run sporadically to various city destinations.

Safety

Safety

Keep up-to-date with travel safety advice when planning a trip to Beirut and all through your stay. While most visits are trouble-free, there is a risk of terrorism present at all times, especially so in crowded areas and around dates of political significance, such as elections. Governments of many countries advise against travel to some parts of Lebanon (particularly around the borders with Syria and Israel, and around refugee camps) and the southern suburbs of Beirut, where the threat of terrorism is especially high.

Passport/Visa

Passport/Visa

Citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates do not require a visa to enter Lebanon and can stay for up to 6 months in a year for the purpose of tourism, provided they have no Israeli marks or stamps in their passports and a nonrefundable onward ticket; same applies to citizens of Jordan for stays of up to 3 months a year. Visa on arrival is granted under the above conditions to nationals of the European Union, much of Europe, the USA, Mexico, Canada, China, Australia, and many other countries across Asia and South America. If you do require a visa, an application must be made in advance via a Lebanese embassy or consulate closest to you. Given that visa policies can change, it's always best to check with the nearest Lebanese embassy or consulate or consult the official Lebanese General Security website for the most current information before planning your trip.
