Lebanon Job Listings
From snow-covered mountains to the warm Mediterranean, and from amazing archaeological sites to lively nightlife, Lebanon is a land of contrasts. Its location at the meeting point of the Mediterranean and Arabia has led to a rich history, and helped forge a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity. Despite being scarred by decades of civil war, invasions and terrorist attacks, Lebanon is blessed with glorious mountain vistas, majestic ancient ruins and a resilient population famous for their hospitality. The earliest evidence of civilization in Lebanon goes back to before recorded history – more than seven thousand years. The country was home to the Phoenicians before being conquered by Rome – it eventually became one of the Roman Empire’s leading centres of Christianity.
The capital, Beirut, is on the Mediterranean, and is the Middle East’s most glamorous city. It used to be known as the Paris of the Middle East, and still retains a very European flavour, with any number of casinos, theatres, cinemas and nightclubs. Not to mention the restaurants – Lebanon’s national cuisine is world-famous. Its wines are good, too – don’t miss wine tasting at the vineyards in the Bekaa Valley. Lebanon is the only country in the region that doesn’t have a desert, and the only country in the Arab world that experiences four distinct seasons. In fact, there are six ski resorts, some of them comparable to top resorts in Europe, and they cater for all ski levels. Towards the end of the season you can ski in the morning and take a relaxing swim in the warm Mediterranean in the afternoon.
There’s good demand for ESL, but Lebanon is a fairly small market for English teachers. Most first-time English teachers will secure a job after a face-to-face interview once they arrive in Lebanon, and they will also be responsible for their flight costs, as well as housing. EFL wages are not high, but due to the low cost of living teachers usually manage to have a comfortable lifestyle. Most find flats or rooms which were previously occupied by other TEFL teachers, and many share accommodation with co-workers. Schools usually provide about 20–25 hours of work per week, leaving plenty of time to travel and explore this fascinating country. Giving private ESL tuition is a popular way to supplement your income while working as a teacher. EFL jobs in Lebanon are concentrated in Beirut, with some opportunities in the other major cities of Tripoli, Sidon, Byblos and Tyre.
