Hello, my first post in the TravelBuzz! forum.

I have been invited to go to Beirut and stay at this hotel - www.rivierahotel.com.lb

The trip (with an international group, including Americans, etc.) is supposed to take place in June and we were invited by two locals who have arranged a very nice 5-day program for us.

Now, I would be very curious to go to Beirut...but I am also quite concerned about safety. Especially in the current situation, do you think it would be safe to fly there (from Germany, on Lufthansa)? I know everyone here cannot predict the future, but if anyone has recently been in Beirut or maybe we even have some posters from Beirut here, I would appreciate your perspective on this.

Thanks .
