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
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Getting a SIM card in Lebanon

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

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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