Practical information : Move & Laze around Beirut
Budget & Tips
For running enthusiasts, head for the Corniche, the only real space that allows this activity. But for the vast majority of sports activities in Beirut, you have to pay for access to a sports club.
What's very local
The lack of green spaces and infrastructure somewhat limits the practice of a particular sport. If the Lebanese are big football fans, their favorite activities remain linked to the bewitching beauty of their country: lazing on private beaches, water sports, hiking in summer and skiing in winter in the Lebanese mountains...
Your documents please
To practice diving without the help of an instructor, you must have at least PADI Level 1 certification.
To be booked
For the vast majority of sports activities in Beirut, reservations are not necessary, except for the city marathon and private tennis lessons. In summer, if you want to benefit from a good location on one of the capital's private beaches, it is strongly recommended to book several days in advance.
Main events
Most plans to host major sporting events in Beirut, such as an F1 circuit in the city centre, have been shelved. The city marathon takes place every year in November.
