Souk el Tayeb

Souk el Tayeb is an open air, weekly farmers market held every Saturday in downtown Beirut at the Beirut Souks, Trablos Street from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. During the summer season (from June to September) it moves to the Beirut Waterfront.

Created in 2004, it was the first farmers market to open in Lebanon and is now a forum to share food, traditions and hospitality in a way that has helped bring together fractured communities. Souk el Tayeb promotes unity around a common respect for food, land, and agricultural traditions. It aims to preserve food traditions and the culture of small farming in Lebanon, to protect the interests of the small farmers and producers and to enable them to compete with industrial and globalized food trade.

Every week, the market hosts over 60 producers from all over Lebanon who sell various food products (Fruits, Vegetables, Mouneh, Lebanese dishes, Honey, Olive and Oil, Pastries, Saj, Sweets, Marzipan etc…) as well as traditional and special handmade crafts(Kids books, soap, glass, pottery etc…)
