About Beirut

Beirut is the capital of Lebanon, a Mediterranean port city with a long history as a centre of trade, banking, publishing and nightlife in the Middle East. Its large diaspora around the world means many people check the time here to call family and friends.

Lebanon uses Eastern European Time, UTC+2, moving to Eastern European Summer Time, UTC+3, in summer. That keeps Beirut two hours ahead of London for most of the year, and on the same time as Athens and Helsinki. Its change dates can differ slightly from the EU's, so check the live clock when travelling around those weekends.
