How safe is Beirut?

Oddly safe. Not what you’d expect, except for public transport. I use Ubers and Bolt to get around and the occasional cab, but cabs aren’t what they used to be. I don’t feel afraid walking alone at night.

Beirut is relatively safe. I never had an issue walking ir driving alone even after midnight. Right now, the entire safety situation is affected by the ongoing tension at the southern borders of Lebanon.
Posted: June 4, 2024Depends on the area. For night time in Beirut, Badaro is the best go to option. It’s very safe, you find diverse people and nobody would look at you. If you consider other areas make sure to have someone with you at night.

I have been in Beirut for two weeks and it is an amazing time. This city is full of energy, with lots of things to do, bars, clubs, parties, shops and restaurants. People here are very kind. I felt very safe.

I went to Beirut alone in October of last year and felt safe the entire time. Beirut is a very diverse, lively city with old neighborhoods, but also with a huge amount of new investments and a myriad of great bars and restaurants that are opening there. Beirut was my base, from where I made day trips to Tripoli, Sidon and Tyre on local buses. I loved it and definitely want to go there again.
