What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Lebanon. They wrote...
"Expats in Lebanon often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to, which can be challenging. The language barrier can be difficult to overcome, as Arabic is the official language and English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the Lebanese culture is quite conservative, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the more traditional values and customs. Furthermore, the political situation in Lebanon can be unpredictable and unstable, which can be a source of stress for expats," wrote a member who made the move to Lebanon.
