Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lebanon safe?
Lebanon has been through a lot, and we are monitoring the security situation closely and with an abundance of care and caution. While there is continued instability in certain parts of the country, Beirut and its surrounding areas (including the airport and all wedding event locations) remain reliably safe. If anything changes, we will communicate to wedding guests as soon as possible.
What’s the currency situation?
Lebanon’s currency has experienced significant devaluation in the last five years. USD$1 is equivalent to about 89,500 Lebanese pounds today. However, USD and Lebanese pounds (LL) are used interchangeably in Lebanon so we strongly suggest withdrawing and exclusively using USD cash to simplify your journey!
How do I get around?
Sidewalks remain an avant-garde concept and traffic lights are a light suggestion, so we strongly suggest using cars to get around when you can. Uber works, but note that it is cash-only. You can also book cars via Allo Taxi (via app, Whatsapp or phone call). For all wedding events, we’ll have shuttles to/from the wedding hotels for guests staying at those hotels.
What is the dress code?
Beirut is the NYC of the Middle East. Eccentricity and individuality are accepted, encouraged and celebrated. In other words, wear whatever clothing (or absence thereof) brings you joy.
Can my children join the festivities?
We love your tiny humans, but all of our events are adult-only.
