  • in smaller shops huggle and make the price less then 50 %. when a tourist steps in to a small shop the prices will rise "automaticly" to much more then the ordinary price.. some people huggle 10-20% and think that they did a good deal while in the real case the shop owner is still the winner. He did after all raise the prise as he saw you where an tourist..

    I dont Huggle as I dont care, but If I notice that the shop owner is trying to fool me with the price then I dont buy from that shop.

  • the dollar is very widely used in lebanon. the local people think that all foreigners are rich and whenever they quote prices at shops or taxi they will quote you in dollars and a lot more then they would do to the locals. always ask for local lebanese lira price and negotiate

    you buy a sandwitch day 1..chances are you'll get it 5 times the price day 2 and 1/2 the price day 3..
    as a tourist, you will be chewed and spit out in the price exaggeration game - hang in there.

    Don't be embressed to bargain- everything and anything goes, including so called fixed price shops (Unless you're in a fancy designer shop in Verdun or Solidaire)

    If you have local lebanese friends, they'll be happy to move around with you and teach you the 1-2-3s of bargaining...
    Also, be smiley and cheery when you are, don't think of it as an offence, its just a way of life there
