Planning my first trip to Lebanon. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Colombia?
5. How is the language barrier?

Coming from the US with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in Lebanon.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

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

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.
