In Beirut perhaps an inhabitant there? (8)
I believe the answer is:
urbanite
'inhabitant there?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'in beirut perhaps an' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'beirut' anagrammed gives 'urbite'.
'urbite' going around 'an' is 'URBANITE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for urbanite that I've seen is " Unbear it for city dweller".)
I've seen this clue in The Sun.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
