Traveller notes on Byblos in April
Notes from nearby Beirut (29 km away)
Byblos doesn't have its own notes for April yet — these are about Beirut, close enough to share the season.
April is the forum's favourite season in Lebanon, and the reason is the mountains rather than the coast: it is the month for the archaeological sites — Baalbek, Byblos, the Jeita Grotto — with coastal temperatures around 22°C and rain on only a handful of days, while the mountains run nearer 10 to 15°C. The catch worth knowing before booking a beach hotel: Lebanon's public and private beaches are closed in April and do not open until June, running through to mid-October. Hotel pools stay open year-round. Expect a real spread between coast and altitude on the same day.
