What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Lebanon?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Lebanon if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be respectful of religious and cultural differences when visiting Lebanon. Avoid making negative comments about religion or politics, as this can be seen as offensive. Additionally, it is important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Refrain from public displays of affection, as this is considered inappropriate in Lebanon. Additionally, it is important to be aware of local customs and etiquette, such as taking off your shoes when entering someone's home. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to be respectful when speaking to locals," remarked another expat in Lebanon.
