No idea. I went on a tour that covered these places and aothers.

by Badoura

It's possible to find drivers that will spend a full day with you for 100-150 USD and approx 75 for half a day.

Though it's not far to Jeita/Harissa, expect one hour or so each way, it's a jammed distance...

Downtown, Grand Mosque

by sachara

Not far from the Place des Martyrs in the destroyed area at the north west side, we had a look at the Grand Mosque or the Omari Mosque. The mosque is damaged during the war, but the minaret and some parts are still to see. This building was originally built as a church of John the Baptist during the Byzantine era. Before the church there was a Roman temple of Jupiter at the same site.
The conversion to a mosque took place in1291 AD, when Salah ad-Din retook Beirut.

Currency - Lebanese Pound or 'Lira'

by miso80

The Lebanese currency is the Lebanese Pound (LBP) or as it is called in arabic the 'Lira'.
Both the LBP and the US dollar are used interchangeably in Lebanon, and the value of
1 USD is equivalent to 1500 LBP

If you do go to have a currency exchange you may realise that there may be a very slight difference to this - 1 USD may be 1507 LBP..but the difference is very slight in general.

Just to give you the value of LBP, some common examples would be:
500 ml of water = 500 LBP = 33 cents
Can of pepsi = 750 or 1000 LBP = 45-66 cents

We have bank notes for the values of: 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000 LBP.
There are also coins for: 50 LBP and 100 LBP (which you will always lose and no one will ever want to accept ;-) ) and there are 250 and 500 LBP coins which will come in handy, and are accepted :)

Sanayeh Public Gardens

by RblWthACoz

This is the only public garden in all of Beirut. An interesting mix of old men and families, it is a spot to relax and people watch. If you want a coffee to sip on while you sit, someone will walk around with a metal tray and ask if you want any.

P.S. No photography is allowed. He he. Oops.
