For travellers based in Oman seeking something just beyond the usual, the Lebanese capital of Beirut is calling, and it’s now easier than ever to answer. SalamAir has reintroduced direct flights between Muscat and Beirut, operating twice weekly starting 3 December 2025.

For Omani holidaymakers, the appeal is clear: a direct flight, minimal fuss, and a destination that differs from the usual beach or desert stay. Whether you’re planning a long weekend with friends, a nostalgic visit for the Lebanese diaspora in Oman, or a romantic getaway filled with charm and cuisine, Beirut fits the bill perfectly.
