Planning your Lebanon trip
Best time to go: Spring and autumn have fewer crowds and less humidity than summer, though there is more rain. June to August is usually dry, but the coast can be very hot and humid; check official safety advice before planning travel.

Scams to watch for in Lebanon
- Taxi fare overchargingYou start a ride without agreeing on the fare, then face an inflated price. Beirut hail-taxis do not have fixed meters. Authorized airport taxis have an airport logo, but this does not guarantee an honest fare.
- Short-changing when paying in dollarsYou pay in US dollars and receive too little change in Lebanese lira. Change may also contain both currencies, making the total harder to check.
- Poor exchange rates and fresh-dollar scam riskA poor exchange rate can leave you with far fewer lira than expected. Banks are described as having used an old rate far below the real rate. Visitors carrying fresh US dollars also face a general scam risk, though no specific method is described.
