Beirut Souks is a landmark retail and cultural destination in the heart of Beirut, featuring a mix of luxury, mid-tier, and boutique stores, spread across indoor and open-air spaces. Designed by leading architects and rebuilt after the civil war, the Souks combine modern shopping with historic remnants of the old markets. With around 200 stores and a cinema complex, it draws both locals and tourists.
However, political instability, economic downturn, and security concerns in recent years have reduced footfall and impacted retailer turnover, which should be carefully considered by prospective tenants.

Insights
Footfall & Market Conditions
The Souks’ footfall has declined significantly compared to its peak years, largely due to Lebanon’s ongoing economic crisis, currency depreciation, and reduced tourist inflow. Retailers report lower sales per square meter than before 2019, with some closures and increased vacancy rates visible in certain areas.
Tenant Mix & Positioning
The tenant mix remains skewed toward luxury and international brands, which may not match the current consumer purchasing power in Beirut. This can result in an aspirational image but limited conversion to sales, making it more suitable for brands with strong margins or seeking prestige presence rather than pure volume.
Operational Challenges
Retailers face high operational costs due to electricity shortages, inflation, and political uncertainty. Negotiating lease terms that reflect these risks is crucial, as asking rents often do not fully account for the current economic realities, and support from the landlord in marketing or utilities may be minimal.
