Beirut is the capital and the largest city of Lebanon with a population of more than 1 million that covers an area of 19.8 km².

Beirut hotel booking is no longer a dilemma, Almosafer will help you to get all the information about the best time to book Beirut hotels and to choose the most suitable date.
Beirut has a quite moderate climate, the summer season (June–September) tends to be popular with visitors but can be very hot with high humidity on the coast with a temperature rising to an average of 30°C and higher, which is fine for those who want to spend their trip on the beaches or indoor sites.
The winter (Dec-March) has cold weather and the temperature averages between (11- 18°C) which makes it more pleasant than in summer, but this season is always accompanied by heavy rains. So we advise you that the best time to visit is in the Autumn (October–November), when the temperature becomes cool in the mountains to reach 20°C and the weather on the coast becomes warm which makes it a good time to explore Beirut and to be outside. However, the peak tourist season will give you the chance to find the cheapest hotels prices in Beirut.
