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 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.
Posted: April 29, 2023Lebanon is safe in general. But because war that is happening in south, its better to avoid the area. In general its better to be in crowded areas at night. But mostly its safe day and night. Looking to see you soon in my country
Posted: June 9, 2024Lebanon is generally safe to explore for women. But it’s usually better if you’re at least 2. I’ve been exploring Lebanon with 1 or 2 friends maximum (ladies). We hike and camp alone and we never faced any problems. Try having a local with you it helps.
