5 Ways to Enjoy the Warm Weather in Beirut

by LBTAdmin

The weather is finally heating up in Lebanon. Time to ditch your puffy jacket and bid a happy farewell to the short days of winter. Get the most out of the warmer weather with these five sunny activities around Beirut.

1. Take a stroll on the Corniche

Beirut’s Corniche is one of the best public spaces in the city and it’s the perfect place to enjoy the warmer weather. Walk along the palm-tree lined stretch from Ain Al Mraiseh to the ferris wheel, or simply post up on a bench and enjoy some good, old-fashioned people watching.

2. Picnic at Horsh Beirut

Warm weather means it’s officially time to break out the picnic baskets. Pack up a lunch and head to Horsh Beirut with some friends for a great afternoon in the sun. Horsh Beirut is one of the city’s last remaining parks and there’s no better way to get the most out of it than with good company and good food.

4. Rent a Bike

Biking is a great way to spend a day exploring the city and squeeze in some exercise after a long (and rather gluttonous) winter. You can rent bikes from Beirut by Bike (+961 3 435 524) and take them along the Corniche, or for the more adventurous, bike to the newly opened Bike Kitchen (+961 3 126 675), Beirut’s first café-bikeshop in Furn El Shebek.

5. Sunbathe at Ramlet al Bayda

The water may still be too chilly for a dip, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pretend like it’s summer time on the shore. Take advantage of this public beach and lay out during the day’s hottest hours to soak in some vitamin D—your body will thank you.
