Wanna live like a true Lebanese? Their M.O. is all about the finer things in life! Kaslik is THE posh shopping district for the well-heeled (and the really good fakers); with American and European designer stores that I can’t even afford…Akil Bros. was for me! Think: Lebanon’s answer to America’s “Ross” (a little bit of everything, brand names, cheap prices)! Located on Kaslik’s prestigious shopping boulevard, nestled in between expensive boutiques, Akil Bros. is 4-floors of shoes, clothing for all, a lunch counter and authentic Lebanese housewares! A set of 3 ornate silver trays (seen in every Lebanese home—for coffee, tea, cigarettes, sweets for company, etc.) will run you 15,000 LL (about $10.00 USD)…an excellent souvenir!
