    Bring an extra bag or two for all the shopping you will engage in

    Since Lebanon enjoys a summery climate from May to October, pack some light cotton and linen cloths. Don’t forget your bathing suit! If you’re planning on visiting Lebanon during the winter (November to April), it would be advisable to wear warmer cloths (woollens, polo-necks…). We also recommend you bring a coat and scarf.
    Don’t forget to pack a couple of smart evening outfits, for dining out in Lebanon can be a very stylish affair!

    Everything is found in Lebanon's numerous pharmacies and Coops so nothing will not be found there.

    Again there are development labs everywhere you look so you could bring your digital camera or normal film camera

    There are no camping grounds found or run in Beirut but if you go up north or down south a range of outdoor activities will be found.

    The local currency is the Lebanese Pound or Lira (LL or LBP). You can pay in dollars as well.
    Notes are in denominations of LL1,000 – LL5,000 – LL10,000 – LL20,000 – LL50,000 – LL100,000.
    Coins are in pieces of LL50 – LL100 – LL250 – LL500.
    The US Dollar (to date): 1$ = ~ LL1,500

    Don t forget to take with you some elegant clothes. The lebanese they dress very nice and elegant, don t go for a dinner in a styish restaurant in your jeans, they will not tell you nothing, but you will not feel nice between so nice dressed people.

    Don't pack your bags, you might engage in some serious shopping there

    Summer: Light summer clothes, a swim suit
    Don't worry about length/coverup, clothing is flexible here.

    Winter: Jacket, umbrella- it gets cold but not extreme-

    people dress up in Lebanon, so bring your trendiest.

    everythings available. dont stock up.

    camera/film rolls.

  • Everything that you might require during your stay can be bought in Lebanon at prices comparable to those in Europe or America. In summer, light cotton clothing, a hat and sunglasses are essential. Visitors during winter months will require warm clothing

    up to the mountain?

  • It might be very hot in Beirut but if you are travelling up the Lebanese mountain don’t forget to take an extra sweater or/and a worm jacket as it can be very cold up there.
