Current (2020) money exchange in Lebanon for tourists [closed]

The official exchange rate is at 1 USD:1500 Lebanon Pound, however it seems the current street rate is at 1:6000 due to the recent situations (protest, covid, explosion, etc...). I have a trip booked for November 2020 and wonder how should I exchange money to not overpay?

I don't want to put myself in any danger, but don't want to lose out on 4x the value.
