    We visited Lebanon in May. It was the most beautiful place we have visited, and we have been all over Asia and most of Europe. The food was amazing and the people were so welcoming. 2 small restaurants refused to charge us and we had to leave money under a napkin on the table. The traffic is a little challenging but if you use Uber or a driver, it is easy. Thanks for showing us so many good places to visit!

    Lebanese-American here. You definitely visited at an interesting time. Our country is going through so much political, financial, and social turmoil right now so it's not as stable as it usually is. On the other hand, because of the economic crisis, prices are amazing for a tourist. I'm personally hoping to visit family in May. Hope you enjoyed the scenary, people and of course our food :).

The people cannot take their money out of the bank. Gasoline is very, very expensive. Taxis do not work, and so much more. Lebanon is another Arabic country in distress. God have mercy on Lebanon

    My family is Armenian however both my parents were born in Beirut Lebanon and they took me for the first time in 2014 to spend Easter there and Lebanon is such a beautiful country whatever it has a corrupt government and unfortunately the beautiful Lebanese people pay the ultimate price. They’ve been living hell for 40 years and this past five years has been much worse for them. Lebanon truly is the Paris of the Middle East. I hold a special place in my heart for that country. God willing things turn for the better 🙏🏼

    Your first visit to Lebanon came at probably the worst time after the end of the civil war in 1990. This was during the aftermath of the financial collapse in 2019 which was exacerbated by the pandemic, and after Beirut seaport's explosion in 2020 which left the country in general but Beirut in particular in shambles. Things have gotten better since then and the economy has stopped the crazy free-fall and has stabilized to some extent, but there's still a lot of challenges. Lebanon's a beautiful country with so much to offer, but it's been through so much and continues to do so, unfortunately.

    Lebanese cuisine is one of the most delicious cuisine around the world , arab countries around Lebanese always imitate what becomes internationally successful coming from Lebanon ... but we re living in an area where arabs don't respect Lebanon's cultural property , they do our meals and then they'd claim it as part of their cultural property as well ... Shawarma though is not originally Lebanese , it was a Turkish dish but Lebanese enhanced it , and added flavors and the lebanese vegees and pickles specialities that made it become famous worldwide... now the Lebanese falafel is another version of Egyptian Taamiya .. but since Falafel became so popular around the globe , some Egyptians use its Lebanese name FALAFEL to claim it as an EGYPTIAN MEAL , even though lebanese falafel is made out of chickpees , while Egyptians' is made of beans also the lebanese FALAFEL has its all success due to the lebanese garniture ( lettuce , pickles , sauce ) while egyptians eat it dry..

A $1000 could probably sustain you for 3months in Lebanon. Unlike US, there you need probably around $8k/months.
