Planning my first trip to Lebanon. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Thailand?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?
Coming from Canada with experience in Latin America but first time in Lebanon.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?

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

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
