Has anyone been to Lebanon recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
