Following the large-scale destruction during the civil war, Beirut's hotels have now all been rebuilt, and a number of new ones added. Lebanon today offers accommodation to suit all budgets, and the Ministry of Tourism publishes an annual hotel guide which lists most of the hotels in the country. Outside Beirut, however, hotels are few and far between, particularly in the South. Visitors are advised to check reservations through a Lebanese representative at home before departing. Winter and summer rates are the same.
Local hostels are available in coastal villages with reasonable prices.
Furnished and other apartments are available for rent. There are a number of campsites throughout Lebanon, notably in Amchite, near Byblos, and particularly in mountain regions such as Chouk and Barouk.
