Etiquette, sights and how to really discover Beirut

Culture is extremely important to people from Lebanon. They identify with the Middle Eastern cultures and are very friendly to foreigners. It's easy to strike up a conversation with a local in a tea house or restaurant. Like in many other places in the world, simple polite gestures so a long way. Say "Bonjour!" when entering a cafe, a shop or hopping into a taxi, it might even earn you a special rate. Saying "merci" when being given or offered something is also an appreciated courtesy. Seeing foreigners around the city still isn't common-sight so it's best to dress well (avoid ripped jeans and casual t-shirts) and the locals will return with warm welcomes.

Beirut was once known as the "Paris of the Middle East" and has a coffee culture just like you might find in France. Pigeon Rocks, Place de l'Etoile, Martyr's Statue, Jeita Grotto are just some of the popular places to visit around the city. The National Museum of Beirut is essential to every new visitor in Beirut. For something more modern, check out the Beirut Art Centre and the Matignon Gallery. What many visitors remember for years after visiting Beirut is the awesome nightlife. With live concerts every night, international musicians and DJs, huge dance floors and wicked trance music... it's a party-goers paradise! Don't forget your dance shoes when you book flights to Beirut!
