Taxi

by Cham

Now, be careful of many taxi drivers as it's likely they'll overcharge you for your journey for being a tourist.. although even by overcharging you it's unlikely to be an extortionate amount unlike the taxi drivers in prague... learn some arabic first... or say service and your destination before getting in walk... I love doing this in lebanon because you end up seeing things that many people never see.take a tour... using wild discovery or Nakhal you can take tours to all the major places that are too far to walk to. The tours never cost very much and you will almost always get a guide who knows everything about the place.

Solidere Street (Scene 1)

by redeagle

solidere streets are the most crowded places ever in Lebanon..they are nice for sure and full of new cafes and stuff, but still, it is just so so so crowded, this is the begining of one of the streets, in the next picture you will see a different look of it.

Hard Rock Cafe Beirut

by call_me_rhia

I guess everyone knows its motto: "Love All, Serve All" - and, if I may add, "Stay Home". It's located in Ein El Mreisseh, inside the Bayview Hotel, along the Corniche. But if you need the Hard Rock Cafe during your travels there's something wrong with you Buy the T-shirt! I hope you haven't gone there for the food! If you've never seen a hard rock cafe I guess it's ok to go there - otherwise just head for any bars downtown: they are so much better.

Camel rides? no thanks

by call_me_rhia

Outside the entrance of the acropolis you can see this lone camel... tied to the fence and ready to be ridden by tourist... where to remains a bit of a mistery, as camels are not allowed inside the temples complex. I'm afraid there's no alternative... nowhere you could ride the camel except around town... with cars and all. I really suggest you don't take that sad ride

Group Trip!

by dr.firas

It could be that you choused the touristy group trip in many different cities in Lebanon!This could cause one problem; you have to obey the graphic of the whole Bus.In some restaurants waiters could really serve you really slow and delay your order, don’t be afraid please to be strict in a gentle way to ask for a very fast service, to avoid such a problem as to be the last one to start eating and the Bus with the rest of the group is ready to go as everybody finished!And they will wait for sure but the entire group will hate you and blame you, and you don’t wan this especially when it is not your fault.

No Discounts!

by dr.firas

Ok in Tripoli the tourist trap you can face in the season of the discounts that many shops and Magazines are keeping the same high prices.No discount indeed is done even though they are putting on the word “Discount”!The reason is unknown for me or for Lebanese themselves, but one thing I’m sure that knowing the Prices in the no discount period and comparing it with what they call a discount is a real Bull ***.

The Cedars

by daaaniel

It may well be the symbol of Lebanon, but a trip to the Cedars, just to watch the trees or to go skiing, is a waste of time. The trees are beautiful, but they are not many, so don't expect a forest full of cedar trees.If you are used to ski in Europe or North America, you'd better leave your skis at home. But if you're into a picturesque and somewhat charming skiing experience have a few rides down the slopes. Beware of the power cuts, you won't get any money back. It's fairly expensive to stay at the Cedars for the budget traveller, around USD50 for a double with bad heating. Stay close to the skiing slopes if you want to go skiing. Taxis are scare sometimes. Go there during the season, it's a bit of a drag in the slow season. Make a daytrip from Tripoli.

The forte of Moussa is a nice place to visit. It was built by someone called Moussa who was a failure at school and a day dreamer...well dreams did actualize for him in building a magnificent forte but don't expect lots more inside...
