About
A short walk from Downtown, Basta has been Beirut's antiques quarter since the 1940s, its shops crammed with Persian carpets, brass chandeliers, mother-of-pearl furniture, vintage lamps and old Beirut memorabilia. Split into Basta Tahta and Basta Fawqa, the district rewards patient browsers and hard bargainers. It is the place to hunt down a one-of-a-kind piece of Lebanese heritage.
