Security and Living Conditions

The political and security situation in Lebanon is complex and volatile. A government has been created beginning 2019 after months without one. Domestic tensions are high. Reflective of divisions within Lebanese society, the situation of Syrian refugees is becoming increasingly precarious.

International tensions are non-negligible as well, even if no imminent conflict is for now foreseeable. Israel has never signed a peace treaty with Lebanon since the 2006 war, and tensions with political party Hezbollah and the State of Lebanon are high. Syria, facing a long-lasting civil war, is just miles away.

Despite these on-going internal and external tensions, Lebanon s security situation is currently good. There is no curfew in place on the Lebanon mission and international staff can move around without too many restrictions even though Akkar and Beqaa valley are areas with no-go areas. The security measures in place could still be upgraded quickly depending on the context evolution.

Expatriates are hosted in Zahle s guesthouse (10-minute drive from the office), with possibility to be hosted in the mission s other guest houses (Beirut, Tripoli) when required to move on SI s other bases.

In Zahle, the guesthouse is located inside the city, at walking distance from shops, restaurants. Zahle also hosts a cinema and several gyms. Each international staff member has its own room. There is Wi-Fi, electricity 24h (with at maximum a few minutes interruption when swapping from national network to the city one), central heating system and air conditioning. Zahle being the capital of the governorate, UN agencies and iNGOs generally have their offices and accommodations there.

Located about 1000m above sea level, Zahle is on the verge of Mount Lebanon and the Beqaa valley. Temperatures go, roughly, from zero Celsius in winter (with several snow storms per year, blocking the direct road access to Beirut) to 35 in summer. Ski resorts and beaches are accessible for day trips. Zahle is the biggest Christian city of the Middle East, and there are no specific restrictions relating to clothing.

If the expatriate has passed his driving-licence more than a year ago, he/she is entitled to drive Solidarit s International s vehicles, including evenings and week-ends, after a driving test and following the mission s specific driving SOPs. As a new rule on the mission is that all national staff should be driving to be hired and to allow better acceptance (and mobility), it is recommended that the person hired should have a driving licence and be willing to drive.
