Traditional Crafts
Traditional Lebanese crafts are distinguished by two contrasting yet complementary strands – ancient techniques that date back to the Phoenician times and the Lebanese eye for design, which has kept these products fresh and innovative throughout the ages.

Lebanon now boasts an eclectic blend of traditional handicrafts, including hammered metal trays with arabesque designs, cutlery with handles made from animal horn, engraved wooden boxes and furniture, jewelry, pure olive oil soaps, pottery, copperware, textiles, linens, and many other items.

Different regions of Lebanon are known for their unique contribution and preservation of traditional crafts and local arts. So, you should be sure to inquire about the local specialty when visiting a different region. In Beirut, you can find traditional products from all over the country at private artisanat shops, such as L'Artisan du Liban (on Rue Clemenceau near the Gefinor Center) and at the Ministry of Culture hosted shop, La Maison de l'Artisan (at the eastern end of the Corniche in Aain El-Mraisse). Definitely explore the souks in Sour (Tyre) and Tripoli, and inquire about specialty shops wherever you go on your journey through Lebanon.
