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).
Posted: January 10, 2025Experienced: June, 2016I 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.
Posted: August 1, 2023I 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.
Posted: July 31, 2023I 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 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.
Posted: May 3, 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.

It is safe to walk alone during the day as a woman. There will be some men staring at you on the streets for sure, just like in any other country. I walk in Hamra streets every day and I never got assaulted by a man, it's just their staring that makes me very uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend for women to walk alone in the dark. Buses are safe. But always stay alert my ladies, nowhere is 100% safe for us.
Posted: May 30, 2025Not safe at all I don't really feel safe walking in the streets of Beirut even if I'm not alone or even if have a knife on me or anything else I fell like when I go to Beirut I Wana get a bodyguard to protect me !
