As of this post the Beirut Airport is still closed because demonstrators have blocked all the roads leading to the airport. My flight is tomorrow so hopefully the airport will be open by then.

nice excuse LMAO
Can you update us when you’re there? Isn’t there a protest on the road to the airport? I heard they set up tents :S
I heard Fayrouz was stuck in the airport yesterday when it closed down 😛
If all fails, they’ll probably open up that airport up north, Rene Mouawad Airport or something…
Road trip ftw… Should be all easy as long as you make it out of Beirut =P
I just had my coffee and then re-read your post and realised that my comment makes no sense, since you’re already there and you already mentioned the roads were blocked…
i dout that this is a demonstration i belive this is a message to arabs not to go and spend there vacation there but maybe spend it in a nieghbouring country supported by iran
Again stop making things up. Nothing is wrong in Lebanon Everything is fine.
Is everything fine there ? my boss is there now and I’m worried about him
Definitely definitely a message to all arab! ALL ARABS BEWARE! You may not VACATION in Lebanon. And therefore the country might lead itself to civil war just so the Arabs don’t vacation in Lebanon and stay safe. Definitely makes alot of sense. Thank you Mohammed. Have you ever been to Iran? Let’s go skying.
Its all messed up what does closing the roads and instigating fights, looting and just being plain hooligans contribute politically?! I hope they wake up and realize that they are just being used (and abused) to exercise some form of presence and pressure before Syria signs a deal with Israel, and Hizballah gets pushed to the back burner and is forgoten by its close Big Brother
Mohammed?? How the hell did u come up with that message!?!?
the government is considering to open rene mouawad (kleyate) military airport for civil-airliners, after hizbillah and co militia blocked the roads to BIA, the rioting mobs attacked police officers, civilians, military personals and attacking pro-government strongholds.
if i’m the government, i’ll will go china on there asses
Nothing is wrong with Lebanon, it’s kind of a norm over there to have such fights -.-” Should be resolved sooner or later because no one there wants a civil war (no matter what any of you will say)… And when it’s all over, all no worries, all the nightclubs and bars will be open ^__^
Don’t you just love how something to do with Lebanon and ONLY Lebanon automatically drags half of the world in with it? I mean seriously, we’re like a tiny speck in this world… What does Iran, Syria, America, Saudi Arabia, [Insert Country name] have to do with us?
Instead of countries focusing on Lebanon and it’s problems, why don’t they just focus on their own problems? -.-“
God Bless kuwait and its Dust and Heat and above all, Security
What a difference a week makes. Glad I visited last weekend.
But it did seem a bit of a security risk to have the airport in a Hezbollah area. Proof positive now. Maybe a good long-term strategy to build a new airport in a safer neighbourhood.
A country with armed politic parties ( militias ) = unstable, unsecured
Here in Kuwait we had problems between ministry of interior and some Qaba’els , and they showed how they will stick to the Qabela gang if it came to the edge . But still , they are Kuwaitis WHO Love there country AND DON’T take orders from forging country !
And yeah , they don’t have a flag or Master of there own ( country inside country ) !
allah ye3enek ya Lebanon ..
What a bummer. Lebanon is such an unpredictable adventure, and not in a good way. I guess, worse comes to worst, you can always hire a taxi to Damascus then fly from there. Take care.
Typical for this time of the year. They need to kill the tourist
season just like they did for the past 2-3 years. As usual a load of hot air that will pass without major incident. Lebanon is sadly even more predictable than Kuwait.
