Beirut Travel Forum

Anyone help with the best way to get from beirut to damascus sometime mid May 09.

What type of option are you looking for:

- inexpensive?
- fast?
- convenient?
- luxurious?

Here are some options:

1) Bus - Inexpensive (less than private car), but takes a while at the border for everyone to process their paperwork. Find a bus at the Charles Helou Bus station.

2) Private car (privately operated by Syrians) - $10 per person if waiting for the car to fill up. $50 if you take it privately. Find a private car at the Charles Helou Bus Station.

3) Taxi - Lebanon Taxi is a reliable Lebanese taxi company (http://www.lebanontaxi.com/). Will be more expensive than the private car, but will be newer and nicer than the bus or private car, with better service. ($100 one-way for Mercedes, $80 for Nissan)
