Lonely Planet review

Twice a year - usually in November or December and in May or June - Beirut hosts the Souq el-Bargout, a massive informal flea market, which consumes the city centre's streets each evening for about a fortnight. An evening of browsing and stopping to nibble snacks from its vendors is an unmissable experience if you're in town at this time.
