    This is what youtube is for not that over edited out of touch content where the influencer is in the center of the frame. You just want to say can you move ! . With you and other that go in the real life , real neighborhood we get real interaction where ist no longer tourist - local but human-human level. I like the POV filming. Really lets me as a viewer relax and just enjoy the view.

    Nice video! Just a small correction it's "Lira" not "Libra" lol
    Try to visit the countryside and other cities such as Batroun (A tourist coastal city), Ehden (a Mountain town with beautiful views that will shock you) and Byblos(the longest continuously inhabited city in the world). These are safe to visit now as they are in the North of country and don't have any threat of being targeted by war

      White female, visited for a week in 2018. Walked day and night. The most dangerous is traffic and pavements, be mindful of your steps.... people are just amazing, thinking what they're going through,they are deep in my heart. I want to go back soon. As it so happened, I ended up in South Beirut in a mini van (servis taxi) with Hezbollah guys. Incredibly respect- and helpful, made sure I got to the right place safely.

    You should go to Egypt all of those bags of junk food, and groceries would come up to $5 USD or less. I feel like Lebanon aren’t accustomed to a lot of black tourists, so when they see you they’ll inflate the prices.

They took him to syria and killed him, despite telling them “Please, i have kids”. his name is “Pascal Sleiman” if your interested. Another example is that in lebanon you can only buy 2 packs of bread at most at a time, but syrians refugees, well, they have a lot of children, so 5 of them go in, buying 10, and leaving non for the lebanese people.
