Solo travel experience
I was in Lebanon for 5 days and had a good time as a solo traveler. Lebanon is a diverse and welcoming country. People are friendly and welcomed me everywhere I went. Most people speak English. I hired drivers to take me to places like Byblos, Baalbek and Beit ed-Dine palace. They were respectful, professional, and informative drivers.

I have been there in November and felt safe and would always go back. Lebanese people are friendly and I just wish there would be a solution for all the problems they are facing. I recommend bringing the cash and not using the credit card as you will get ripped off on the exchange rate.

I’ve visited Lebanon many times but never solo. I always went with someone from the area and stayed with them. I recommend staying in Beirut as other cities can be very conservative and knowing some, even if it’s just a little of Arabic. Overall, Lebanon is great but I definitely recommend caution.
