Safety update for Lebanon based on recent experience and community reports:

General Safety Level: Low risk if you stick to known areas.

Common Risks:
- Taxi overcharging — always use app-based rides
- Fake police demanding bribes — ask for badge number
- Romance scams — be skeptical of offers

Areas to Avoid:
The outskirts have higher crime rates.

Police Situation:
Police checkpoints are common — carry ID.

Stay safe out there.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Berlin Bound

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: go early evening.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
