Ms Daoud, a former BBC journalist, was detained by plainclothes policemen at her home in Cairo on Monday and put on a plane to Beirut.
The move came hours after her contract was terminated by privately-owned OnTV.
Her show, Al-Soura Al-Kamila, controversially aired views critical of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and his government.
Mr Sisi has cracked down on dissent since leading the military's overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Ms Daoud's 10-year-old daughter, an Egyptian national, was at their home when her mother was led away by police. Officers reportedly confiscated Ms Daoud's mobile phone and British passport.
There was no formal explanation for Ms Daoud's deportation, but a security official told the Associated Press (AP) that her residency permit had expired.
