#7 You Do Not Have To Worry About Communication
As much as it is important to have fun while traveling, convenience is also nice, and one of the most nerve-wracking things about traveling to a foreign country can be the stress of not knowing the language. But never fear: almost all Lebanese people speak Arabic, English, and French, so you’ll have no problem communicating when you need to and before you know it you’ll be surrounded by new Lebanese friends!
