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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers
Lebanon — overrated or just right?

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

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
