Plan Beirut

Phoenician traders sailed from here three thousand years ago, and the city has been rebuilt and reborn so many times since that it seems to carry every version at once. Roman baths beside Art Deco, a mountain road twenty minutes from the Corniche, and a table of mezze that will reset your idea of what food can be. Beirut does not do early nights.

Best April to June and September to November. Pick your dates and Share reads what's on those exact days.
