Look for a service heading towards Ehden. Make sure to inform the driver that you want to go to Al Midan. The cost for this service is usually around 5,000-10,000 LBP per person, depending on the distance. The taxi will drop you off in Al Midan, from where it is a short walk to the statue, which is a prominent landmark in the area.
