Thanks!! This is really helpful. I'm from the US and will be visiting for 7 full days.

I'm aware of the currency issues going on -- is it difficult to use LBP over there now? I will definitely bring plenty of USD like you suggest, but am wondering how much LBP I'll want to take out.

Was it easy to find a driver to Baalbek? I remember when I went to Jordan, nearly every driver was more than eager to take on more business.
