Beirut is one of the Mediterranean's most culturally layered cities — a blend of French-era architecture, vibrant nightlife in Mar Mikhael and Gemmayzeh, and Levantine cuisine in abundance. Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) offer the best weather: 18–26 °C with clear skies ideal for day trips to Baalbek, Byblos, or the Jeita Grotto. Summer (June–August) is hot and humid at the coast (33–36 °C) but popular with the Lebanese diaspora. Winters are mild (8–14 °C) with occasional mountain snow ≈ 40 km from the city.

Before confirming this itinerary, complete five steps: (1) Check the Indian Ministry of External Affairs advisory on Lebanon — the status changes. (2) Obtain your Lebanese visa from the embassy — allow at least 2 weeks. (3) Confirm your return routing; single-ticket itineraries via MEA or flydubai simplify rebooking if your outbound is delayed. (4) Ensure your Indian passport is valid for at least 6 months. (5) Arrange travel insurance covering trip cancellation and medical, as Lebanon has limited public healthcare facilities.
