By Bus

From the large roundabout of Dowra (spelled ‘Dora’ on the road signs), most buses leave for destinations in the north of Lebanon, such as Byblos, Jounieh, Batroun, Beit Mery, Broummana and Tripoli. Returning from these northern destinations, you are most probably dropped off at Dowra as well. To return to Beirut from Dowra, take a minibus that passes the Charles Helou bus station, leaves in the direction of Cola (bus 6 and 15), or toward Achrafieh and Hamra (bus 2).
