Khan as-Saboun: Khan as-Sabon in Tripoli Souks

  • Name of Shop: Khan as-Saboun

    In this old Khan as-Saboun soaps have been sold for centuries. Nowdays most of the soap is made in a factory outside Tripoli.
    I was shown around in the Khan and was smelling on the different lovely soaps. At that time I couldn't buy so much as I was travelling around for a few weeks more. But back in Lebanon I went back to Tripoli just to buy a lot of soaps, some for me and some as presents. There are many different scents, shapes and colours. They all have a bas of olive-oil.
    They are just wonderful!

  • At this huge store you find different things on different floors. In the basement you find the cameras, computors etc. On the fist floor you have books, magazines, maps and videofilms and most are in English. On the second floor you have the music department with a lot of CDs by Lebanese artists and from other countries. Around the walls there are many head-phones and you can listen to any CD you want. The store is opened untill midnight.

  • Borj Hammoud is an area in east Beirut, just east of Beirut River. There are a lot of clothes shops (not to expensive) around Arax Street and Armenia Street. There are also many shops selling gold.
