When arriving to Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) there is no public transport to the city center. Taxis congregate outside the airport for the 20-minute journey to downtown (around US$25). You'll likely save money by prebooking one.

Health Insurance:

Travel insurance that covers you for medical emergencies and care is recommended.

Recommended Vaccinations:

Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccinations are recommended.

Availability & Cost of Health Care:

Quality public and private medical care is easily available, with Beirut having the best facilities. Most doctors speak some English. If you are not covered for healthcare, you will be expected to pay upfront. Costs vary but in general are slightly lower than for equivalent services in the USA or Western Europe, for example.

Tap Water:

Though it's officially proclaimed safe to drink, many Lebanese won't drink the tap water and stick to bottles.

Being away from your home can be a challenging experience. Students living away from their homes and studying in Beirut or Tripoli Campuses can rent a girls-only or boys-only shared or private apartment from various local renters in these regions. Rent is usually paid yearly (two installments) and varies according to location, size, and students sharing the apartment.

Students studying in Debbieh Campus may select between the University dorms, which are located inside campus and are two minutes away from the University parking area or local renters in the area.

BAU’s Debbieh Dorms are safe, comfortable, and relaxing. BAU has allocated two separate buildings, one for the boys and the other for the girls. We have 112 rooms available for boys in the boys’ dorms and 66 rooms available for the girls. The dorm rooms range from single to double rooms.
