Ideas for your day
Real questions, each one a page of verified answers.
Where to eat in Byblos
Restaurants, cafés, bakeries and bars, each with the source its details came from and the date they were last checked.
Where to eat in Beirut
Restaurants, cafés, bakeries and bars, each with the source its details came from and the date they were last checked.
Nightlife in Batroun
Bars, clubs, rooftops and live music. Opening hours matter most here and change fastest, so each one is dated.
Things to see in Tripoli
Archaeological sites, churches, mosques, museums and heritage houses, with what is known about each and where that came from.
Nature and outdoors in Ehden
Beaches, forests, trails, waterfalls and viewpoints. Seasonal places say which season — an empty beach in January is not a closed one.

No guessing. Every fact has a source.
This is a real listing, straight from the catalogue. The freshness label tells you how recently it was checked — every place carries one.
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.

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.
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.
- 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.
- 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 and iOS, with the day planner, offline access to places you have saved, and alerts for somewhere you are near. The website carries the same catalogue.
