Cost of Living in Beirut

Their is a 600% inflation in Lebanon you must multiply by 6 every thing

The prices are no longer calculated correctly. if you are viewing the prices in us dollars or any other currency than LBP you can almost directly divide the price by 4 or 5 to get a real result. the lebanese currency has lost its value, and lebanon now is even cheaper than most if not all eastern European countries. maybe one of the cheapest in the world if you just have dollars in your pocket. Of course you must not use your credit card if you ever decided to visit lebanon, bring the cash with you, exchange them in the black market, around 8,500 LBP = 1 USD, and enjoy your stay, you will be able to have a meal for two in a decent mid ranged restaurant for 6 to 8 US dollars. you can stay in a decent hotel room for two for around 50 US dollars, and so on. you can buy a phone number SIM card for around 1.5 USD, and rent a car for 10-15 USD. However, despite the fact that it is a wonderful news for tourist, the locals here are doomed, and they feel that this is the most expensive country in the world, and they are right because the minimum wages in lebanon now are around 50$ per month which used to be around 400$ per month. the average now in around 200$ and it used to be around 1,600$.
