Here’s How Much It Costs To Go On A Date In Lebanon

So you finally hoodwinked someone into going out with you. Congratulations! But before we start planning how hot and steamy it’s going to get, let’s take a look at what this date will run you.

Let’s begin…

While you were rummaging through your closet, you realized that you had nothing to wear (and your favorite shirt had a stain).



You order a shirt for 699,000LL (and a 50,000LL delivery fee).

On your way out of the building on the day of your date, sweat immediately starts to form under your armpits. You need deodorant (w ma fi kahraba so you definitely won’t go up the stairs to grab yours before you leave).



You head over to a supermarket and opt for a deodorant that cost about 120,000LL. You also grab the spearmint Trident gum for 10,500LL.



You and your date were in the mood for some Italian, so they really wanted to try Appetito Trattoria in Gemmayze.



You take a ride with Bolt to meet them, which cost about 70,000LL (if you live in Beirut).

Oh shit, your date ordered the Linguine ai Frutti di Mare, that just tacked on 595,000LL to your bill. You opt for the Vegetariana in hopes of lessening the blow to your wallet (because no meat = cheaper), which was an additional 306,000LL.



You went ahead and ordered two soft drinks, which cost 46,000LL each, and left a 15,000LL tip. Yel3an hal se3a, you think to yourself.

Omg someone was selling roses on the street! Like the great date that you are, you grab one for your date for 10,000LL. How sweet.



“Uff shu shob”, your date says. You suggest none other than the delicious Hanna Mitri in Achrafieh, so you catch a Bolt for 70,000LL. You order 2 ice cream cones, each costing 60,000LL.



By the end of the date, it seems like you’ll be going home alone. You say your goodbyes and take a Bolt home for ANOTHER 70,000LL.



Now before you see your grand total, we want you to deeply consider the pros and cons of going out on that date. Was it worth it? WELL, it better have been because…

Your total is = 2,227,500LL for another night of sleeping alone. Maybe you should stay single for a while.
