"Expats in Beirut often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Arabic is the official language and English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the traffic and driving conditions to be chaotic and overwhelming. Finally, the political and social climate can be unpredictable and volatile, making it difficult to feel secure and safe," remarked another expat who made the move to Beirut, Lebanon.
