Beirut DOOH · Hamra · The Corniche · Martyrs' Square · July 2026
The capital of Lebanon in a Greater Beirut near 2.4 million, from Hamra and the Corniche to Downtown, Martyrs' Square and Achrafieh, bookable by the hour, priced per play, matched to how Beirut actually moves.
Beirut billboard and DOOH (digital out-of-home) costs span from a few cents per play on urban panels to premium Downtown / Martyrs' Square, Achrafieh / ABC and landmark networks. On Blindspot, Beirut screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.23, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Beirut play isn't one screen for a month. It's the right screens at the right hours: the arteries at commute peak, the malls through the afternoon, the nightlife and tourist cores after dark.

Location insights
Beirut has been a Mediterranean crossroads for more than 5,000 years, and its rhythm still runs along the sea. The Corniche promenade curves past the Pigeon Rocks at Raouché toward Zaitunay Bay and the rebuilt Downtown around Martyrs' Square and the Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque. Hamra Street in Ras Beirut carries the university, cafe and commercial crowd near the American University of Beirut, while Achrafieh and the ABC mall hold the eastern shopping core, with the Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael nightlife strips between them. Screens along Hamra, the Corniche and the Downtown approaches catch the most repeat and visitor eyes.
Hamra / Ras Beirut and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
Achrafieh / ABC and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Downtown / Martyrs' Square shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Beirut doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Downtown / Martyrs' Square + Hamra / Ras Beirut | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Corniche / Raouché, Hamra / Ras Beirut | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Achrafieh / ABC, Downtown / Martyrs' Square | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | Zaitunay Bay / Marina, Hamra / Ras Beirut | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Downtown / Martyrs' Square, Airport Road / South Approach | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Beirut’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: retail, since Achrafieh holds ABC Achrafieh, a large mall of premium and international brands opened in 2003 (see DOOH for ecommerce), and higher education, since Ras Beirut is home to the American University of Beirut, whose campus sits close to the Hamra commercial district.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Beirut screen: the format (pricing runs higher on airport road & transit screens than on downtown landmark digital), the zone (Downtown / Martyrs' Square carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Corniche test
A week of hourly bursts along Hamra and the seafront.
Multi-zone Beirut push
Downtown, Hamra and Achrafieh running together across peak dayparts.
Mediterranean-capital flagship

FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Pikasso, Group Plus Media, AADV (ART Advertising) among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.
Yes. Every Beirut screen on Blindspot is bookable by the hour, with no minimum contract and no retainer. You pick the exact windows, so you can buy the morning commute on Hamra / Ras Beirut, the afternoon retail stretch around Achrafieh / ABC, or the evening social hours in Downtown / Martyrs' Square, and skip everything between. Because you pay per play instead of for a fixed four-week flight, the same budget concentrated into proven peak windows buys more useful frequency than the same money spread across every hour including the overnight ones nobody sees. Availability and the per-play price are visible before you commit, and you can start with one screen and one daypart.
Blindspot puts the bookable digital out-of-home screens across Beirut on a single map: roadside and boulevard LED, street-level panels and citylights, transit and station screens, mall and place-based displays, and landmark placements, all priced per play and bookable by the hour. That spans zones from Downtown / Martyrs' Square through to Airport Road / South Approach. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as Pikasso, Group Plus Media and AADV (ART Advertising), and Blindspot books time on their existing, already-permitted structures rather than reselling a fixed package. You see each screen, its zone, its per-play price and its live availability before committing, so you are choosing specific screens and hours rather than buying an unspecified network bundle.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than most people expect, because you are buying plays rather than weeks. A $500 budget in Beirut typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as Hamra / Ras Beirut, a concentrated burst across the busiest retail and transit screens at peak hours only, or thousands of plays on central urban panels where the per-play price is lowest. At entry prices around $0.23 per play, the arithmetic is straightforward and visible before you commit. What it will not stretch to is 24/7 coverage of a landmark spectacular, and that is the point of hourly buying: concentrate a small budget where and when it is seen instead of thinning it across hours with no audience.
No. Blindspot has no minimums, retainers or platform fees; you can run a focused hourly burst on a single screen or a full multi-zone Beirut campaign.
