Thank you for travelling to be with us — truly. Everything below is here to make the trip feel easy and unhurried.
Immigration, visa, airline, and government requirements can change. Please verify current entry rules through official sources (your airline and Lebanon's official channels) before you travel. We're happy to help point you in the right direction.
There are no nonstop flights from the United States to Beirut, so plan on one connection. The smoothest single-ticket routes run through Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Paris (Air France), Frankfurt or Munich (Lufthansa), and London (Middle East Airlines from Heathrow). From the East Coast, expect roughly 14–17 hours door to door.
Please book a connection of at least 2 hours — ideally 3. On short layovers, checked luggage sometimes does not make the connecting flight, and Istanbul in particular is a very large airport to cross. A slightly longer stop is far better than arriving in Lebanon without your black-tie attire.
Keep both flights on a single ticket with your bags checked through to Beirut (BEY). If a delay causes a missed connection, the airline rebooks you and is responsible for your luggage — protection you lose when the legs are booked separately.
We suggest landing by Thursday, June 10, 2027 — two days before the wedding. It gives your luggage a day to catch up if it is delayed, lets you settle in, and means you can join the welcome gathering on Friday evening if you receive that invitation.
For the final leg — from Paris, London, Istanbul, or wherever you connect — choose Middle East Airlines (MEA), Lebanon's national carrier, whenever it's an option. It is the least likely to cancel the Beirut leg, and as the hometown airline it is always the last to stop flying and the first to resume.
Four- and five-star stays within a 15–20 minute drive of Aux Glycines, from the Adma hillside down to the Jounieh coast. Rates shown are typical published prices — expect June to run higher, and book early.
Our recommended stay — a grand hillside five-star in Adma, the closest of the four to the venue, with pools and gardens.
A modern seafront five-star on the bay of Tabarja, near Casino du Liban — sea-view rooms and the easiest beach access.
An intimate boutique hotel overlooking Jounieh Bay — the pick if you prefer character and a view over big-hotel amenities.
A relaxed seaside resort in Kaslik with pools on the water — well placed for the shops and restaurants of the Jounieh strip.
Guests make their own way to the church and on to Aux Glycines. The two are a short drive apart in Kfour, and the hotels we suggest are 10–20 minutes away.
The easiest option for a late night: a driver who takes you to the church, waits, and brings you back to your hotel. [ Editable — recommended drivers and rates. ]

Parking is available at Aux Glycines for anyone driving themselves.
