For guides & local hosts
Turn your love of Lebanon into your business.

Why Mshwar
Built for guides in Lebanon.
Travellers who are ready to go
Mshwar's planner turns a wish into a real day. Licensed guides can be hired for it with the date, the group and the route already set.
Free to join
No listing fee and no subscription. Today your guests pay you directly on the day.
A page that earns trust
A verified licence badge, your tours drawn on a map of real places, and reviews only from guests who toured with you.
Your week, organised
Set your weekly start times, block days off, cap tours per day, and get a day sheet for every run.
Fair reviews, both ways
You and your guests review each other blind: neither sees the other's review until both have written.
Three languages
Your page works in English, العربية and Français, right-to-left Arabic included.

Good to know.
Do I need a licence?
To charge for tours or be hired for a planned day, yes: a valid Ministry of Tourism guide licence. Without one you can join as a local host for free walks.
How do I get paid?
Today your guests pay you directly on the day, in the way you agree. Online payments will come with a licensed Lebanese payment partner.
What does it cost?
Nothing to join or to list. Mshwar charges no fee while your guests pay you on the day.
Who sets the prices and times?
You do: your tours, your prices, your weekly times, your days off and how many tours you run a day.
What if I need to cancel?
Tell your guests as early as you can. Cancellations show on your record, so keep them rare.
Can guests see my phone number?
Only after you confirm their request. Your documents are never shown to anyone except Mshwar's reviewers.
