Dear QL,ers

Im looking to go away for a few days after Ramadan, and wonder wheter any natives of Beruit, or persons who have been there could answer a few questions;

What are the visa requirements for a UK passport holder living in Doha.
Whats the price like on the wallet
Is there a bar scene, so to speak of
My boss went there and told me it was a great place, medderterain feel
Is it pretty free, i.e no probs on your own.
Any decent hotels good 4 star'ish near the action.

I thank you all in advance for your time.

Kind regards Rich

I've been twice and loved it both times. I think both USA & UK passports are treated the same, as I just walked in and got Visit Visa Upon Arrival.

People complain about traffic in Doha, but the traffic in Lebanon is something else! I refused to drive! It's an adventure in itself. 3 lanes will automatically turn illegally into 5 across, and no one pays attention to any painted lines if there are any.

If you're used to Doha prices, you'll be fine budget wise.

I would definately go back again. If you can, try to fly there on MEA Middle East Airlines, it was an awesome experience.
