Beirut : Profile

Docking

The latest travel advice should be consulted before travel to Lebanon.

Beirut has long been considered, by virtue of its strategic location, the crossroads between the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe and its inhabitants are a unique blend of the Eastern and Western cultures. Much of the city's infrastructure was destroyed during hostilities in the summer of 2006 between Israel and the Hizbollah forces including Israeli bombardment of Beirut port and lighthouse.
