Address: Beirut Central District, Beirut, Lebanon
International tourists can fly into the Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY), which is the main airport serving Beirut. From there, you can take a taxi or book a car through a ride-hailing app directly to the AlOmari Grand Mosque.
Taxis are readily available throughout Beirut. It’s recommended to use a reputable taxi company or a ride-hailing app to get to the mosque. Make sure to agree on the fare in advance if the taxi is not metered.
If you are driving, you can use GPS navigation and input the mosque’s address or coordinates. There is parking available in the area but be mindful of the busy traffic and potentially limited parking spaces.
Beirut does not have a metro or train system, so public transportation generally means buses or minibusses. However, the routes can be confusing for visitors, and service can be sporadic. If you choose public transport, it would be wise to get current information from a local source for the best route to take.
The mosque is located in the heart of Beirut’s downtown district, which is walkable and pedestrian-friendly. If you are staying in the downtown area, this may be a viable and enjoyable option, allowing you to see more of the city's sights along the way.
For the more adventurous, Beirut is slowly becoming more bicycle-friendly with some bike lanes and bike rental services. A cycle ride to the mosque can be a pleasant experience, especially during less congested times of day.
