Where is Beirut Located?

As shown on the Beirut location map, Beirut is situated along the Mediterranean coast in the central-western part of Lebanon. It is the capital and the largest city of the country. The city has a population of about 2.4 million in the metropolitan area and covers an area of approximately 7.67 sq mi (19.8 sq km).

Beirut has a long history dating back to ancient times and has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years. Today, the city serves as Lebanon’s main center for commerce, business, culture, and government.

During the Lebanese Civil War, much of Beirut was heavily damaged. However, the city has undergone significant reconstruction in recent decades. The redesigned city center, modern marina, vibrant pubs, and lively nightlife districts have once again made Beirut an attractive destination for visitors.

In 2009, The New York Times listed Beirut among the top places to visit in the world, and Lonely Planet also ranked it as one of the liveliest cities globally that year.
