Local knowledge for Beirut
Where to stay
Hamra is where most budget travelers land. The streets off Bliss Street and Rue Hamra itself have the density of cheap eats, hostels, and shared taxi routes to get you anywhere. Mar Mikhael is a quieter base on the east side, walkable to Gemmayzeh and close to the port, and prices there tend to be lower than its reputation suggests.
Getting around
- Take service taxis everywhere. Flag one going your direction, say your destination, and expect to pay very little. Regular taxis will quote you many times that for the same ride.
- Always confirm whether a price is in US dollars or Lebanese lira before you order. Many places quote both, some quote only one. The gap is large enough to matter.
- Souk el Tayeb runs Saturday mornings in Mar Mikhael and is the cheapest way to eat well. The trendier restaurants around it charge a significant premium for the same food.
When to go
July and August fill hostels fast as the diaspora returns for summer, pushing prices up across the board. January through March is the cheapest stretch, with fewer visitors and more room to negotiate on longer stays.
