Whether it’s your first time or not, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your stay.
🛬 Do I need a visa?
Many passports can get a visa on arrival. Check official requirements before your trip to be safe.
💰 What currency is used in Lebanon?
USD ($) and Lebanese Lira (LBP) are both accepted. Cash is best, as card fees can be high and not all places take them.
🌤️ What will the weather be like?
September in Lebanon is usually warm and pleasant, with temperatures between 24°C and 30°C (75°F to 86°F). Light, breathable clothing is best, and evenings can be a bit cooler, so a light layer is a good idea.
🕑 What’s the time zone?
Lebanon is GMT+3 during summer.
📶 Will my phone work?
If your plan doesn’t cover Lebanon, grab a local SIM at the airport or use eSIM apps like AirAlo for instant data.
🚖 How do I get around?
Uber works well in Beirut. Local taxi apps like Allo Taxi are also reliable. Most rides within the city are quick and easy.
🔌 What plugs are used?
European plugs (Type C & E) with 230V voltage. Bring an adapter if needed.
