Aïshti

Beirut


Lebanon’s premier luxury department store, Aïshti is a draw for fashionistas across the Middle East. Come to browse international designers as well as local darlings like Zuhair Murad, Elie Saab and Reem Acra. For those without a black AmEx, Aïzone offers (slightly) more affordable garments and accessories.
