# Alternative Beirut: Agent-Direct Score B (78.5%) Site: http://www.alternative-beirut.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/alternative-beirut.com Scanned: 2026-11-04 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Alternative Beirut is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open Alternative Beirut's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://www.alternative-beirut.com/book-tours-beirut (on the business's own site) - Phone: +96178982327 - Address: Al Boustani Bldg, Chukri Assali, 1100, بيروت - WhatsApp: a link on the site ## Nearby, also direct Places near Alternative Beirut that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Sun Holiday Tours (410 m): https://directindex.org/r/sunholidaytours.net - Yeraz Travel (440 m): https://directindex.org/r/yeraztravel.com - Satguru Travel (590 m): https://directindex.org/r/satgurutravel.com.lb ## What to fix first - **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead.
