Ra's Bayrut Weather in December

December by the sea

December in Ra's Bayrut feels mild, damp and changeable. Daytime highs reach 18°C, but rain falls on 11 days and clouds often interrupt the sunshine. You can still walk the Corniche, stop at the Pigeon Rocks and explore Hamra's cafés. Wet stretches can make the seafront less inviting, and rough weather can spoil a beach day. Keep indoor plans nearby rather than counting on long afternoons outside.

Christmas and New Year

Christmas brings decorations and seasonal events around Beirut, while New Year's Eve adds parties and late nights. The holiday mood can make central spots busier, especially around the end of the month. For couples who prefer quiet walks, the Corniche is calmer on ordinary winter weekdays than on festive evenings.

Crowds and local tips

December is winter low season, so Ra's Bayrut is generally quieter and stays can cost less than during the popular spring and autumn months. Prices and crowds can rise around Christmas and New Year, though. January is wetter, while November is milder and drier, so December suits a city break better than a beach-focused trip. For a rainy spell, head to Hamra's cafés, then walk towards the Pigeon Rocks when the sky clears. The Corniche can be slick after showers, so take care on the seafront path.
