Know Lebanon like a local
Verified places across all 8 governorates — with the honest bit included: we tell you what we have actually checked, and what we haven’t.
Restaurants, beaches, trails, ruins, cafés and guesthouses across every governorate — each one showing where its facts came from and when they were last checked.

WenRayhin lists 23,212 verified places across 1,099 Lebanese towns and villages, in all 8 governorates and 26 districts. Every record names the source its facts came from and the date it was last confirmed, so you can tell a checked opening time from an imported one — and see plainly where we have not looked yet.

Why we’re different
We say who told us
Every place carries its source and how recently it was confirmed. “Listed as open on Google” is a different claim from “visited by our team”, and we never blur the two.
We admit what we don’t know
No opening hours means we say so, not that we guess. An unknown price is never shown as free. A half-researched town says it’s half-researched.
Built for Lebanon
Arabic and English names, transliterations that actually match, and travel times that assume real roads rather than straight lines.
How it works
The same three rules apply to every record on this site, and they are the reason to trust it over a list somebody wrote once and never revisited.
- 1
Facts come from sources
Opening hours, phone numbers, prices and locations come from named sources with a recorded date. Nothing factual is written by a model. Where a source disagrees with another, the stronger one wins and both are kept.
- 2
Unknown stays unknown
A missing price is not free. Missing hours are not closed. A place nobody has checked says so on its own page, rather than borrowing confidence from the places around it.
- 3
Gaps are shown, not hidden
Coverage is stated per town. A list that should be short is short. We would rather tell you we have four places in your village than pad it to ten and waste your afternoon.
Plan a day in a sentence
Tell the app what you feel like — “somewhere for kids near the sea”, “a hike and a long lunch” — and it builds the day around where you are, what is open, and the weather. Every stop it names from the catalogue links to the record behind it.
Questions
- Is WenRayhin free?
- Yes. Browsing places, towns and day plans is free, and there is no account required to look. We do not charge businesses to be listed, and a place cannot pay to rank higher.
- How many places does it cover?
- Over twenty thousand published places across more than a thousand Lebanese towns and villages, in all 8 governorates and 26 districts. Coverage is deepest in Mount Lebanon and the North and thinnest in Akkar and Baalbek-Hermel, and each town page states its own count rather than implying the national one.
- How do you know the information is current?
- Every record carries the source its facts came from and the date it was last confirmed, shown on the place itself rather than kept internally. Opening hours and prices change faster in Lebanon than any catalogue can follow, so both are dated — treat an old date as a reason to phone ahead.
- Is it available in Arabic?
- Yes, fully. Arabic is a first-class language here, not a translation layer: places carry Arabic names, the interface is written for Arabic rather than converted into it, and you can plan a day by typing in Arabic.
- Do you use AI?
- For writing and for planning, never for facts. A model may write the description of a place or assemble a day from the catalogue; it is not allowed to establish an opening time, a price or a phone number. Those come from sources with dates attached.
- What is not covered well?
- Around a third of Lebanese towns still have no published place. Events coverage is thin and should not be relied on. Price ranges are missing on almost everything. Most places do not yet have a written description, and one without prose shows its facts rather than a generated paragraph.
- I own a business here — can I correct my listing?
- Yes. Claim it from your place page and confirm you are connected to it, and your corrections carry more weight than an imported record. Claiming is free and does not affect where you appear.
- Is there an app?
- Yes, for Android, with the day planner, offline access to places you have saved, and alerts for somewhere you are near. The website carries the same catalogue.
