Information about Beirut
Airport - Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport (formerly—and still sometimes affectionately—known as Beirut International Airport; IATA airport code: BEY) is the hub of Lebanon's national carrier, Middle East Airlines (MEA).
Shopping - Shop in the multiple city shopping centers, including Monoprix, ABC(pronounced 'Ah-Beh-Seh'), and Dune. Downtown Beirut is a network of cafes, restaurants, higher-end fashion outlets, and the crown of Beirut's 'resurrection' (though many criticize the downtown for being rather sterile and/or soul-less, with little character).
