TIPS & TRICKS
You can use both USD and LBP (Lebanese Pounds) in the country. The rate is around: 89,000 LBP=1$.
All restaurants and bars take payments in both LBP or USD.
Most of the hotels and stores will accept your payment in credit card but it is recommended that you use cash for small stores and shops.
CASH TIPS
MOVING AROUND
Lebanon is a relatively small country but moving around different areas can be cumbersome without a car, especially during the summer season. There are no reliable public transport alternatives.
Airport taxis can be a bit pricey, so we don’t really recommend them. Instead, here are some Beirut taxis you can WhatsApp and book in advance — much easier and more budget-friendly!
