BEIRUT — The Lebanese capital’s first fundamentalist department store offers “everything Islamic, at competitive prices.”
Customers have flocked eagerly to the Modern Commercial Market.
The market opened just over a week ago in West Beirut. Goods for sale include Egyptian and Saudi video cassettes and long-sleeved, ankle-length Islamic women’s gowns, sold in a wide range of patterns and cuts to satisfy the Lebanese flair for elegance.
