Do I need a visa to travel to Lebanon?

Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival or travel visa-free. Your passport must be valid for more than 6 months from your date of entry. For the most up-to-date information, check with the Lebanese General Security website or your local Lebanese consulate.

How do I get from the airport to my hotel?

The bride and groom will personally reach out to you to help coordinate logistics and ensure your arrival is smooth and effortless.

For those who prefer arranging their own transfer, Allo Taxi is always available at the airport, and you can conveniently pre-book your ride through their mobile app for a reliable pickup.

The drive from the airport to central Beirut typically takes around 15 minutes, depending on traffic.

What’s the best way to get around?

We would recommend using the following reliable local taxi services by contacting them directly via WhatsApp:

Allo Taxi: +961 78 881213 (Preferred & Widely used - Download the App)
Alliance Taxi: +961 1 245 555
Charlie Taxi: +961 3 285710

Some guests may choose to rent a car – agencies are available at the airport. However, driving in Beirut can be hectic. Reliable taxis are often easier for visitors unless you're planning day trips outside the city.

You can buy a SIM card with internet bundles at the airport or at any mobile shop or purchase an E-Sim via the My Monty App or Simly.

WhatsApp is the primary way people communicate in Lebanon – for messages, calls, and even taxi bookings.

Also, many hotels offer currency exchange. The exchange rate fluctuates, so check before travelling. Apps like “Lira Rate” can be useful.
