Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY)

The tooltip of the review area in Foursquare asks “what’s good here?” The answer is: the fact that you will eventually take off is the best feature in this airport.

You won't get free wifi the second you leave customs when arriving. If you need to order an Uber, do it before you exit to the general area.

Have your coffee at Uncle Deek before coming here if you dont feel like re-mortgaging your house just for an espresso.

Beirut is a beautiful city, but the airport is not! The airport should be the first impression!

Nice duty free, good place to buy perfumes, cosmetics and much more. Free wifi for only 30 minutes! Very few food/coffee choices.

Since there are no signs, you can hardly find the way to the rent-a-car kiosk. Just after the exit door (inside) on the rightest corner.

Very nice airport. Small, but with everything you need. The Business Lounge is also well stuffed. Big plus for Gratis WiFi and sockets everywhere

Alcohol and tobacco are cheaper than most airport duty free shops, so stock up you decadent jetsetters

I love the Eyesights of Mountains when landing .. Enjoy the 30 mins Free wifi at the airport ..Enjoy Beirut 😋

Big duty free, but be careful cause there's one more inspection point after the duty free !

They added many more lines at passport check points ,, and the flight check ins are noticeably faster than before

Living the free wifi zones. You only get 30 mins per device though. Very bad attitude from MEA staff and most of airport staff unfortunately. Beautiful city, always good to be here.

The lines are getting longer and longer. Make sure checkin at least 3 hours before your flight, you'll need it.

That was the very worst airport I’ve ever visited! On the return trip we had to be in the airport 3h ahead the flight! However, there‘re 3 different crowded lines which we stayed on for 150 minutes.

The airport is like a miniature Lebanon; a charming mix of nice and messy things. Get there early, don't stress and you'll be perfectly fine!

Crowded. Unorganised. Use your elbows.

Nice airport and cafe matik has good coffee. Looking forward to a return visit.

Really small and outdated. Love the historical displays. Supposedly you can access the Cedar Lounge if holding Amex card, unless it’s issued by a middle Eastern bank you will be dismissed 👎🏼

Could be better, still it's the best for only one reason, it's HOME

Bring a pen with you to fill out the forms (you might not have to fill any up, depends on your passport and/or visa)

Very neat and beautiful airport and I am suprised to see that most of the lebanese women have a beautiful baby face :))

There is absolutely no organization here, total CHAOS & no one cares. The line is miles long and its like spaghetti without a single person or sign to organize. Horrible experience. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

There's free wifi and not much else, so definitely find a way to fill your time here. Also, the food selection isn't too good. When you leave the airport, there's a store that sells sims.

Large duty free area and gifts. Building is modern but may need a refresh of facilities to keep up with the competition

Excellent airport with free wi fi

Relaxing (airport wise) atmosphere! Use your 30 min of free wifi - expand it to endless wifi pretty plsssssssssss

I like this airport, at least they are keep using gates to transfer the passengers to the aircrafts, comparing with others airports using stupid buses!

Small airport, and even when arriving at 2am luggage seems to take a life time to reach arrivals hall. Visa process very simple and fast

Park next to one of three doors for easy and quick access when picking up your people. Never give up your spot on the arrival rail. Never.

Watch out for your flight and proceed through any of the security entrances (East or West), regardless of whether it is displayed on departures board or not. It's small and not real time.

Don't forget your 30 minutes of free wifi. A variety of shopping options in the Duty Free outlets. A nice snack at Cafe Matik.

Leave PLENTY OF TIME! They have gazillions check Points, xrays, etc. And have your pink card filled before going to passport control. Kinda stressful

Love shopping for Lebanese sweets and artisan souvenirs at duty free; excellent choices.

If you are bringing original CDs with you, don't forget to stamp them before the check in counters...otherwise prepare the bribe...

Cedar Lounge has free WiFi (MEA), no password required. You can get a WiFi signal near their entrance. It's a little weak but works fine on my iPhone 4S.

Very organised airport, just be careful when you go south of the football stadium en route as that's a high risk area

Find taxis on the parking across the street at arrivals. The place is quite a mess, ordering by phone or Uber is easier

The duty free is the cheapest in the region. Grab what you can, you won't regret it.

Beautiful Lebanon

You can get free Internet using the MEA WiFi connection in the Gates area after the security check. The WiFi signal reaches the Duty Free area but you have to be near the security checks.

get a friend or your hotel to pick you up: the taxi drivers will mob you and overcharge you like crazy otherwise (you should pay maybe $20USD, not more).

Wifi is free for only half an hour, whereas it is free in all other airports. Food is VERY EXPENSIVE at the boarding entrance.

Amazing gourmet shops flavor of lebanon Alrifai nuts / his confectioneries wowooo

Prepare to buy a new suitcase after you pass through the airport as they are very reckless with luggage 😤

If you want free wifi, then cross immigration and proceed to the gate. Connect to IDM and get 30 mins free wifi!

30' free wifi/ great value for money at the duty free shops/ entire non-smoking area

You will need to pass security check to get to boarding pass counters, if you got a lot of bags you will loose the trolley...

As usual.. u are going back to ur country with a smile.... once u reach Beirut Airport ...!@$#@#@@#$@!???!@?!?!...... u wonder... WHAT THE HELL DID I DO......

Don’t forget to get some Hallab sweets before you get to your door!

Be at the airport at least 4 hours before your flight. It’s one big mess...
