Local experience
Lebanon 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.
Posted: March 23, 2024Solo travel experience
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, 2023Solo travel experience
I 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.
