ok, there is no real risk when travelling to beirut.. but you can always check the various government websites, however, they do paint a negative image.

frankly i have never relied on opinions of those who have no direct relevant knowledge of a situation.

if you want more specific info, eg where to stay, how to get around then send me an email and i'll share what i know.

ps. i got the job, we move in march 2006 !
