I was there in November and felt safe, I would always like to go back. The Lebanese are friendly and I just hope that a solution is found for all the problems they are struggling with. I recommend taking cash with you and not using a credit card, as you will be cheated on the exchange rate.

I was in Lebanon for 5 days and had a good time as a solo traveler. Lebanon is a diverse and hospitable country. The people are friendly and welcomed me everywhere I went. Most people speak English. I hired drivers to take me to places such as Byblos, Baalbek, and Beit ed-Dine palace. They were respectful, professional, and well-informed drivers.
Posted: May 9, 2023I have visited Lebanon many times, but never alone. I always traveled with someone from that area and stayed with them. I recommend staying in Beirut, as other cities can be very conservative. Knowing at least a little Arabic is also highly recommended. Overall, Lebanon is wonderful, but caution is definitely advised.
