From the downtown area, locate the nearest bus stop. Take a bus heading towards Rawcheh (look for signs that say 'Rawcheh' or ask locals for assistance). The bus ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Once you arrive at Rawcheh, get off the bus and walk straight towards the Corniche. Al Raouche Rocks will be visible along the waterfront.
Taxi

If you prefer a quicker route, you can easily hail a taxi. Just tell the driver 'Al Raouche Rocks' or show them the location on your phone. The taxi ride from anywhere in central Beirut should take around 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. Ensure you agree on a fare or ask the driver to use the meter.
Ride-sharing (Uber/Carriage)

Use a ride-sharing app like Uber or Carriage. Input 'Al Raouche Rocks' as your destination. The app will guide your driver to the location, and the ride should take approximately 10-15 minutes from central Beirut, depending on traffic conditions.
