Beirut Walking Tour​​

​Interested in exploring layered history by foot?​ WALKBEIRUT offers the only extensive, in-depth walking tour of our capital. The tour narrates Beirut's rich and often troublesome past, and reflects on the city's enduring spirit.

​​​​​​Please note:​​
* Reservations required. Limited availability.
* We do not offer private / customized tours, and unfortunately cannot permit baby strollers.​
* For tour schedule, booking details and t-shirt requests, please see below.


About the Tour:
WALKBEIRUT started offering tours in April 2009. Our concept remains simple: get to know Beirut by foot. We believe our city is best explained through storytelling, and we've come up with a walking route that is pedestrian-friendly and brings you to neighborhoods we think are critical in grasping Beirut's diverse history.

Roughly four hours long, the tour includes plenty of places to sit and rest while we introduce you to Beirut.

T-shirt Requests:

(currently unavailable)

If you're interested in purchasing WalkBeirut t-shirts (see photos below), include the request in your reservation and let us know:

(1) number of shirts
(2) size per shirt - S,M,L,XL
(3) color per shirt - white or gray

Note that a three-day notice is required to process your order. The cost per shirt is 30,000 Lebanese Lira or 20 US Dollars (Euro is not accepted) and we will bring the shirt ready at the start of the tour. If your reservation request is for 3 or more tickets, you will need to include the t-shirt purchase in your online payment (see ticket information & reservation procedure above).

​​​​​​​If you'd like to know more about why I put the tour on hold from 2014-2017, an interview with my family was released following my father's assassination. Please click here to view it.

​He is in the adjacent photo, third from left, seated where he once joined the tour - and where he is now buried - in Martyrs Square.​​​​


Here’s to Beirut's memory. Be it prosperity. Be it tragedy.
