Stay In Beirut August 28 - August 30
We recommend staying in Beirut from August 28 - August 30 and spending the rest of your stay in Batroun. Please note, we have a day trip planned on August 30 for which we would pick you up from Beirut (with your luggage) and drop you in Batroun at the end of the day if you will be joining. Beirut is the capital of Lebanon, filled with history, beautiful coastal views, and a great nightlife and food scene.

Stay in Batroun August 30 - September 4
We recommend our guests to stay in Batroun for the remainder of their trip. For those of you coming for a shorter amount of time and are thinking of staying in only one area, we definitely recommend choosing to stay in Batroun for this trip! Batroun is a coastal beach town in the North of Lebanon, situated 15 min from our wedding venue, which has boomed over the last few years with restaurants, bars, cafes, and boutiques. Please note we will be providing a shuttle on the night of the wedding from Batroun to the venue and back.

Travel Note
Getting Around - Ubers and Allo Taxi
We do not recommend renting a car in Lebanon as it is rather easy and cost effective to call a taxi company via WhatsApp or use the Allo Taxi app. Uber may be cheaper as well, just make sure you are comfortable with the car and driver you get. You will be able to pay in cash in both cases. For short distance trips such as within Beirut or Batroun/Byblos area, if you decide to hail a taxi (or TukTuk) from the street, make sure you check a comparable price on Uber and agree on the price before you get in the car.
