Lebanon is still visitable for leisure, but it is not a normal tourism destination right now. Travel is highly sensitive to security developments, airspace changes, and cash/banking constraints, and official advisories from multiple governments remain severe. Some tourists are still arriving, but traffic is depressed and trips can be disrupted at short notice.
