Beirut is a big city and like most cities you have areas safer than others, it’s good to always keep things with you on hand like pepper spray and if you’re traveling alone always have your location shared with someone trusted, and if you can try to befriend locals do so as they can show you around and inform you of safe/unsafe areas. There’s amazing people of all kinds in Beirut!

Tricky question haha! But it may sound unsafe in the news but Lebanon is more than a country its a lifestyle and a huge welcoming community. Coming from a girl who've experienced and lived a-lot here I can consider Lebanon to be a safe place where everyone where everyone would run to help a girl out. Lebanon is an experience that everyone should at least live once in their lifetime, you could feel directly at home through our gorgeous and generous people living here.

Its safe in terms no one will try to pickpocket or steal your things but as a woman there are many catcalls or maybe it can reach to the point of getting sexually harassed or assaulted specially if ur foreigner and dont know the language but in general locals are so kind and welcoming

Haret Saida
It's very safe. It's a small community where all people know each other and help each other. You can find everything you want from shops to gyms to pharmacies etc. It's very close from Saida city the capital of south of Lebanon where you will be connected to other cities in Lebanon

Beirut, Solo travel
beautiful city, amazing people and culture, the best food, super fun nightlife, stunning nature ranging from snowy mountains over pretty beaches to hystorical towns. men still suck and I wouldnt recommend walking alone at night, generally I did feel safe though (or as safe as a woman can feel in any big city).
