Sixt Tip

Parking can be difficult in Beirut, if you know you will be driving in the city centre a good deal then consider renting a smaller vehicle so you can take advantage of the smallest parking spaces. Also get used to using your horn more while driving in Lebanon. It's a good idea to give a toot on the horn any time you overtake another vehicle, as this alerts them to your presence.

Beirut is renowned for its lively nightlife and is a popular tourist destination, so finding a parking space early in the evening is always a good idea if you're on a night out in the capital city.
