Health & Safety Tips for lebanon
In Lebanon, the primary emergency numbers are 112 for Police, 140 for Ambulance (Lebanese Red Cross), and 175 for Fire Department. These numbers are generally accessible nationwide, though response times can vary depending on location and current infrastructure challenges.
It is advisable to save these numbers in your phone before arrival. While operators in major cities like Beirut may speak some English or French, Arabic is the predominant language. If you do not speak Arabic, try to have a local assist you or clearly state your location and the nature of the emergency in simple terms.
Additionally, the General Security Directorate can be reached at 1717 for immigration and security-related inquiries. For consular assistance, tourists should also keep their embassy's emergency contact information readily available, as they can provide support in complex situations.

Travelers to Lebanon should exercise increased caution regarding health. Tap water is generally not safe for drinking; always opt for bottled water, even for brushing teeth. Be mindful of food hygiene, especially with street food and uncooked produce, to prevent gastrointestinal illnesses like traveler's diarrhea, Hepatitis A, and Typhoid.
Routine vaccinations should be up-to-date, and additional vaccines such as Hepatitis A and Typhoid are strongly recommended. Rabies is present in Lebanon, so avoid contact with stray animals. Mosquito-borne diseases like Leishmaniasis can occur in rural areas, necessitating insect repellent and protective clothing.
Medical facilities in Beirut, particularly private hospitals, are generally of good quality but can be expensive. Outside the capital, healthcare services may be more limited. Comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical evacuation is highly recommended, given the potential for medical emergencies and the economic situation affecting healthcare resources.

For entry into Lebanon, there are generally no mandatory vaccination requirements for most international travelers, unless arriving from a country with a high risk of Yellow Fever transmission. In such cases, a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for entry.
However, several vaccinations are strongly recommended to protect against common diseases. These include routine vaccinations such as Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis, and Polio. Additionally, Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines are highly advised due to potential exposure through contaminated food or water.
Depending on your travel itinerary and activities, your healthcare provider may also recommend Hepatitis B (especially for longer stays or potential medical exposure) and Rabies (for those engaging in outdoor activities, working with animals, or visiting remote areas). It is crucial to consult a travel health specialist at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to ensure you are adequately protected.

Strong 4G/LTE and Emerging 5G in Urban Centers
Lebanon's major metropolitan areas boast strong mobile network coverage, particularly for 4G/LTE services, ensuring high-speed internet access for tourists. Cities like Beirut, the capital, and Tripoli, a significant northern city, benefit from extensive 4G/LTE infrastructure, providing reliable connectivity for navigation, communication, and streaming. While 5G deployment is still in its early stages, it is gradually expanding in select high-traffic zones within Beirut and other key urban hubs, offering even faster speeds where available. Tourists can expect excellent mobile data performance in these densely populated regions.

Money & Daily Life in lebanon
Currency
The official currency of Lebanon is the Lebanese Pound (LBP), also known as the Lira. However, due to the severe economic crisis, the LBP has experienced extreme devaluation and volatility. For tourists, it is highly recommended to carry U.S. Dollars (USD) in cash, preferably in small denominations. Many businesses, especially those catering to tourists, quote prices and prefer payment in USD. The exchange rate between LBP and USD can vary significantly between the official bank rate and the parallel market rate, with the latter often being more favorable for exchanging USD to LBP if needed. It's advisable to exchange money only at reputable exchange offices or banks, and to be aware of the prevailing market rate.

Tipping culture
Tipping is a common practice and generally expected in Lebanon, especially in the service industry, and is particularly appreciated given the economic situation. In restaurants, a tip of 5-10% is customary if a service charge is not already included in the bill; for exceptional service, up to 15% is appropriate. For taxi drivers, it's common to round up the fare or add a small amount. Hotel staff such as bellhops, porters, and housekeepers also expect small tips, typically equivalent to a few U.S. dollars or a suitable amount in Lebanese Pounds. When paying in USD, it's often easier to tip in USD as well. Always ensure you have small bills for tipping.

Credit cards
The use of credit cards in Lebanon is significantly limited, especially outside of major hotels, high-end restaurants, and large supermarkets in Beirut. Due to the ongoing economic crisis and capital controls, many businesses prefer or even insist on cash payments, particularly in U.S. Dollars. ATMs are available in major cities but can be unreliable; they may frequently be out of cash or dispense Lebanese Pounds at an unfavorable official exchange rate. Transaction fees for foreign cards can also be high. Therefore, it is strongly advised for tourists to rely primarily on U.S. Dollar cash for most transactions and to only use credit cards as a backup for emergencies or in establishments known to accept them.

Plug/Voltage
In Lebanon, the standard voltage is 220V, and the frequency is 50Hz. This is different from countries like the United States and Canada, which typically use 110-120V. Travelers from these regions will need a voltage converter for any appliances that are not dual-voltage compatible. Lebanon uses multiple plug types, with Type C (two round pins), Type D (three round pins in a triangular pattern), Type G (three rectangular pins, common in the UK), and Type F (two round pins with two earth clips) being common. Type C and G are among the most frequently encountered. It is advisable to bring a universal travel adapter that covers these types to ensure compatibility with local power outlets.

Local language(s)
The official language of Lebanon is Arabic. However, due to its historical ties and diverse cultural influences, French is also very widely spoken, especially among the educated population and older generations, a legacy of the French Mandate. English has become increasingly prevalent, particularly among younger generations, in business, and within the tourism sector. Many Lebanese are trilingual, comfortably switching between Arabic, French, and English. While learning a few basic Arabic or French phrases is always appreciated, tourists can generally navigate major cities and tourist areas with English, though knowing some common phrases can enhance the experience and facilitate interactions with locals.
