March 23-31, 2009. I flew into Beirut and used it as my staging area. Took the local busses anywhere that i wanted to go with costs of about $2-$5 per trip. North to Tripoil, south to Tyre... no problem. Across the mountains to the Bekaa Valley and into Baalbek for a look at the great ruins of ancient Heliopolis. Always felt safe. Was going to bus it over to Damascus but all web sites say that it's difficult for a USA passport holder to get a visa at the border? You had no problems?
