Location insights

Where Beirut moves

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.

Commuter tide, twice a day

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.

Retail plateau, all afternoon

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.

Evenings change the audience

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

One city, several audiences a day

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.

Match the tide, not the calendar

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.

Creative by daypart

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.

Proof, not vibes

Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.

Pricing · updated June 2026

Beirut billboards: priced honestly

Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.

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

Beirut budgets, three ways

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.

FAQ

Beirut billboard FAQs

Do I need a permit to advertise on a Beirut billboard?

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.

What creative specs do I need for a Beirut screen?

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.

Can I book a Beirut billboard for just a few hours?

Yes, on Blindspot every Beirut screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum contract, so you can buy only the commute peaks, shopping afternoons, or evening windows that match your audience.

Which DOOH networks can I reach in Beirut?

Blindspot aggregates digital out-of-home inventory across Beirut onto one map, roadside and boulevard screens, transit, mall and place-based panels, bookable per play. The wider OOH supply is run by operators such as Pikasso, Group Plus Media, AADV (ART Advertising).

How fast can my ad go live in Beirut?

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.

What can I get in Beirut for $500?

A multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic Hamra / Ras Beirut corridor, a concentrated burst across the busiest transit and retail screens at peak hours, or thousands of plays on central urban panels.

Is there a minimum spend for Beirut billboards?

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.
