The government of Saudi Arabia has lifted its Lebanon travel ban, and other Gulf states are expected to follow suit.
Lebanese tourism officials are preparing for an influx of Gulf tourists beginning in June, following the al-Fitr holiday that marks the end of Ramadan.
In November 2017, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE ordered their citizens to leave Lebanon, and instituted the travel ban, on account of the presence in the Lebanese government of representatives of Hezbollah, which Saudi Arabia claimed had committed acts of aggression against the Gulf states.
