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 last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

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

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

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

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