Beirut is very safe. You’ll be fine.

Just avoid Tripoli and the southern region

Love Lebanon. Stay in the right area and you will be Gucci.

Check showmeleb on insta for private tours. Highly recommend.

Got it. Think folks are mostly planning on staying in Beirut but had heard about some folks considering Tripoli tourism

Yes, but it’s so worth it!

Fellow American also going to a August Beirut wedding as well. Will gladly accept tips if you have some 😂

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
