With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Beirut, 19 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Hamra Street, Le Mall Sin El Fil and Zaitunay Bay. Situated 20 miles away, Sidon is another popular tourist destination. If you drop by, be sure to check out Sidon Sea Castle, Tyre and Khan al-Franj.
