lettakia (syria) to lebanon by taxi?

Yep, the border crossing is open at the moment. The only time it is closed is when there is instability in Tripoli or in Lebanon as a whole. I'm pretty sure it's been open for the past couple of years without incident.

Service taxi from Latakia to Beirut is available almost 24/7 via the northern border with Lebanon as detailed by SPDL

and say hello to emma :-))

I crossed from Southern Syria into Lebanon on the coast road, just north of Tripoli,only last week. Absolutly no problems although as the crossing was busy (we were on a coach from Aleppo to Beirut) the crossing took about 1 3/4 hrs!

Dear all,

Is it possible to take a chauffeured vehicle from the Syrian-Lebanese border at Dubusi to go to Baalbeck and then on to Beirut? I will be coming from Latakia.

How much will it cost?

Shukran ma salama
