Beirut Weather in April

April weather

April feels mild and bright in Beirut. Days reach 22°C, while evenings cool to around 15°C. There's some rain, but showers are usually brief; the month gets 29 mm across five days. With plenty of daylight, you can wander the Corniche, visit the National Museum, or take a long lunch in Mar Mikhael.

The sea may still feel chilly for swimming. For beach time, treat April as a chance to walk the shore rather than spend all day in the water. If rain arrives, duck into the Sursock Museum or explore Hamra's cafés.

Easter and spring

Easter can fall in April, though the date changes each year. Beirut's Christian communities mark the holiday with church services and family meals. Some shops and restaurants may close or change hours, so check locally if you're visiting over Easter weekend.

Spring is a good time for a city break before the hotter, drier summer. April is warmer than March, but cooler than May. If you hate crowds, you'll generally find Beirut calmer than in the summer holiday season.

Crowds and local tips

April sits in the shoulder season, so you can expect fewer visitors and often lower hotel prices than in peak summer. It's still a popular month for pleasant sightseeing, especially on weekends, when locals fill cafés and the Corniche.

Travelling with kids? The seaside walk from Zaitunay Bay toward Raouché is an easy outing, with views of the Pigeon Rocks offshore. Go near sunset, then stop in Hamra for manakish, a flatbread topped with za'atar or cheese. The weather's comfortable for walking, but keep indoor plans in mind if a spring shower rolls through.
