City districts and safety.
Posted: Fri August 8, 2008 07:55 AM UTC

Good day to all,

I am coming to Beirut in a month time and I am planning to go around the city A LOT. I was wondering whether there are districts in the city I should be careful wandering around in?

Really looking forward to coming.

Thank you.

P.S. I am a woman and I don’t speak Arabic.

Hi
I have been to Beirut last year in May and I am going this October. Avoid the 2 Rfugees Camps around the Air port , and the souther district of Beirut where the Hezbullah are concentrated. The downtown / AUB /Hamra/Ras Beirut are the safest and Best. Dontforget to go up the mountains and see the 2 Caves in Jaeita. they are one of the seven wounders of the world.
All the best
Charles

Hi
One of my friend has been there recently.
He told as long as you are around Hamra or Ras you would have nothing to worry about.
I guess you can get more information when you are there on the current situation.
