Lebanon Address Format
Lebanese addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, building number + street, district/neighborhood, then postal code followed by the city on one line. The postal code is often omitted in practice; building names, floors and nearby landmarks are commonly used instead, and P.O. Boxes remain widespread.
