Tipping · 🇱🇧

Tipping in Lebanon

Customary: 10%–15%. Expected. A service charge on the bill does not replace it.

At restaurants

What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill

Worked example

On a LBP2,000,000 bill, 10% is LBP200,000, so you would hand over LBP2,200,000.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about LBP1,000,000 per person.

On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.

Expected on guided tours. US dollars circulate alongside the lira and are welcome.
