How to get there

 

As of now (2003), there are no direct flights from North America to Lebanon.  Most European capitals do have daily flights to Beirut.  If you’re already in the Middle East, there are two flights a day between Amman and Beirut.  There are also daily flights and ferries from Cyprus, and well as from Cairo.  From Amman Jordan there are also sharing taxis that leave a few times per day.  The drive is about 5 hours.  However you must have a Syrian visa in order to take this land route.  (A visa to Syria must be obtained at the Syrian embassy/consulate in the country you reside in; you cannot

obtain it while traveling through other countries – only at home.)

 

Major tourist sites

 

BEIRUT 2003 is a bustling, busy ,noisy, cosmopolitan city that should be a must on every person’s travel list.  Many areas of Beirut are totally rebuilt in the Beirut-Parisian style of the earth 20th century.  The Solidaire area, under the guidance of Rafik Hariri, is an example of how the splendor of a city can be recaptured, even after the most horrible of circumstances.  There are still many parts of Beirut that show the scars of the civil war.  However, this is one city that’s on the move and headed towards a bright future.  Beirut conveys a sense of life and energy that is so apparent.  Considering what this city has gone thru, it really has the right to call itself “the city that would not die.”  There are a vast number of sites to see – Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, Ottoman, Crusader, the National Museum and the famous American University of Beirut.  The eateries of Beirut can compete with the finest of Europe – but let us not ignore the Middle Eastern falafel and shwarma stands that dot the city.
