The LBP pound is highly de-valuated.
The price you have are on the official RATE, that's why you see it that expensive.
the reality is way different
Since Lebanon became under Saudi/Zionist/"western democracies" influence it become poor in economic, safety and environmental.
That's nonsensical lOl. The calculation is based on a much outdated value of the Lebanese Lira.
If you're netting $1,000 a month in Beirut nowadays, you're in the top 5%.
the Lebanese pound has lost more than 90% of its value in the last 18 months.
You need to subtract the generated number of $5,938.87 by 10 and you'll get a more realistic figure.
Official rate is 1,500 LBP
So divide all numbers by 13 or 14
I hope Lebanon will get out of its crisis soon
.All the prices you see above should be quadrupled because of the economic crisis and the dollar exchange issue.
.Its not so real some item are more expensive and other are cheaper
rent is more expensive private school more expensive electricity alone will cost around 200 dollar
food are 60% more expensive than mentioned restaurant you will find some less expensive and some are really to much expensive i have lived in three country so far Lebanon is the most expensive country with no work opportunity or really low salary medical insurance is really expensive and some Lebanese people die on the door of hospital because they cannot afford it 90% of Lebanese people are living aboard
if you have money to spend you will find the luxury life really easy to access with wonderful nightlife beach you can pass from sea to snow in 2 hours maximum
as a conclusion Lebanon is a great country but its so corrupted .
.
.Corruption in the government is the problem.
