Freelancers and digital nomads need a quiet space where they can get their work done.
While coffee shops are great, they are often noisy and crowded. Coworking spaces have emerged in Lebanon over the past few years.
They provide members with quiet space, fast internet connection, and free coffee and water so that they can be as productive as possible.
While renting an office on your own is an option, coworking spaces are better because members feel like they belong to a community.
The various events that take place allow them to network with many people and grow their social and professional circles.
The following coworking spaces offer different plans. They also vary in prices and benefits. You can rent a desk or an office, whatever suits your needs!
