The wide, open road is calling your name, and Zalqa is the perfect base to kick-start your Beirut adventure. Located 4 miles from the downtown area, the first thing you ought to pick up is the key to one of our impressive rental cars. A full-size SUV will get you in and around Beirut in total comfort — or perhaps you want to steer off the beaten track and discover hidden gems with a robust four-wheel drive. For getting around the city, we’d recommend going for an economy car. They won’t be as spacious, but they’ll be a dream at sliding into those tight parking lots.
