Cheap Flights from London to Beirut

Beirut, the capital of Lebanon is a city of interesting contrasts. Having witnessed some of the deadliest conflicts in the history of the Middle East, it still never fails to be the friendliest place on earth. The city is filled with beautifully restored mosques, architecturally magnificent museums, the best of food and shopping, and an alluring beach. Beirut is one of the very few cities on earth where you can ski and sunbathe on the same day. The list of things to experience in this beauty is endless.

Tip: the ideal season to visit the city is autumn (between September- November). Spring is also a good time as the weather is enjoyable.

How to get to Beirut 

The Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport is the only operational airport in Lebanon. When going from London to Beirut, you can choose between 2 airlines for direct flights to Beirut, namely the British Airways and MEA Airlines. Some of the connecting flights are cheap flights from London, though the duration of time would be more. London-Beirut flight booking is not hard because there are around 21 flights every week.

Tip: Direct flights would take only about 4 hours, and 35 minutes while connecting London to Beirut flights would vary from 6-8 hours.

Visit the Best of Beirut 

Though a Beirut cliché, a relaxing stroll along the mesmerising Corniche, especially during sunsets offers an alluring glimpse of this city. This seaside is the best place to get a real reflection of life in Beirut. A Roman temple at Baalbek is an awesome ancient world you must see during your vacation in Beirut. These monuments are brought to life with a collection of concerts and plays during the Baalbeck International Festival, the perfect time to visit the city. The site of Byblos is also a gem and deserves to be visited. With a rich history, this site has hosted Persians, Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Ottomans, Assyrians, and many other civilizations for over 7000 years. The Byblos International Festival during the summers is a must-see as well.

Tip: The city also has some of the best museums that provide information on the complex history of the Middle East. The museums are also architecturally fascinating.

Shopping and Partying 

The Beirut Souks, located in downtown, is a representation of the development of Lebanon post-war. The area is a completely new shopping experience with stores selling international fashion and accessories. There is a Sunday flea market called the Souk Al Ahad, where you could get cheap products. They sell everything from exotic pets, antique products, and pirated DVDs. The city has legendary clubs located in Karantina. This area was the site of a camp for many Kurdish, Palestinian, and South Lebanese refugees, who were massacred in the place. But it is now home to an underground club where the crowd has explosive DJ nights.

Tip: present in the Bekaa Valley’s heart, Chateau Ksara is the oldest and biggest winery of Lebanon. It has over 90000 bottles of the finest tasting wines.
