The BEY nightstop was an issue 2 years ago in my company too.
One crew on its way from the airport was hijacked! So we had a second (armed) vehicle follow us.
There is occasionally a bomb going off in the city and they are still in war with Israel. Yes there is actally know peace agreement until today.
So better stay in the hotel, shouldnt be hard, as the city is 95% ugly, polluted and crowded.
