The Rahal

Christmas is right around the corner and despite it being a time for love, family, and celebrations, it can also be stressful when it comes to Christmas gifts.
And while Lebanon is going through a difficult time, we thought the least we could do to support its economy is to buy Lebanese products from Lebanese businesses. Whether you live in Lebanon, or an expat, we highly encourage you to buy Lebanese.

We have created a list of 100+ Lebanese businesses you need to buy from this Christmas to help you find the best gift ideas in Lebanon for any budget. To make it even easier on you, we categorized them below.

PS: These are the answers we got on our Instagram page, if you feel like recommending other Lebanese businesses, make sure to reach out either by leaving a comment under this article or on @the.rahal on Instagram. Help us spread the word and share it with as many people as possible.
