Lebanon is safe. Just avoid the northern part for now. I'm talking about Tripoli (Aakar region).
Baalbeck and Zahle (Ksara) are PERFECTLY safe.
Enjoy your time in Lebanon.

Hi There

I find Beirut to be as safe as any big city and my family visit here regularly!聽 From time to time, they have a few demonstrations which can occasionally get out of hand but that can happen anywhere nowadays and they are over within hours.!聽 I would not listen to the opinions of people who have never been to Lebanon, especially in the last 2 years.聽

Like every country, there are risky areas but you would not go there in your own country so it is a no brainer!

Hope this is of some help to you and your girlfriend.

In the meantime, take care!
