Popular Transportation | Other Transportation Tips | All Tips (44) There is a great new map that you can buy that includes all the areas in and around Beirut called ZAWARIB Beirut. It is very detailed and accurate with good landmarks/places of business clearly marked so you can tell the Cervice where to take you (you need to give directions by landmarks, NOT streetnames). The map was written by an expatriate (pretty sure on this) who was tired of not being able to get accurate directions from locals. It costs 15000LL, or $10.00, but it really shows you everywhere you would ever want to go. I ended up studying all the possible routes from my house to my university so that I would know if the taxi was taking me for a ride or going the proper direction. I just love it! I found the Daily Star has an order page so you can get it in advance of your trip if you like, or just pick it up in any Beirut bookshop (there are plenty!)

I flew to Beirut. MAS (Malaysian Airlines) flies from Kuala Lumpur to Beirut with a stop-over in Dubai.
The flight is about 10 hours journey.
Started at 7.30 am.

There are currently no ferry boats running between Cyprus and Lebanon. They stopped a few years ago. I actually took the ferry between them, but they have been stopped for a couple of years now. You can go to Syria though.
The link below shows all ferry services between Cyprus and other countries of the region. If they every re-instate the service, it would be listed here.
You can, however, fly between the 2 countries. Leave a Comment

Beirut can also be reached by International buses from Damascus, Amman...even as far as Istanbul.
There are 3 main bus stations in Beirut :
Charles Helou Station, covering destination for the north of Beirut, including some destinations in Syria.
Cola Station, for destinations in the south of Beirut like Tyre & Sidon. This is just a junction where many buses & taxis group together...
Dawra Station, covering small destinations around Beirut.
Around Beirut, the bus number 5 is the most convenience... Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
