Tripoli is famous all over Lebanon for its sticky oriental sweets. Many Beiruties visit Tripoli en group on Sunday mornings to have breakfast at "Hallab". Confusingly to tourists, many sweet houses in Tripoli carry the name "Hallab" in one way or another. This is either because they are legitimate descendants of the famous nineteenth century sweets maker of the same name, or simple free riders trying to profit from the name's reputation.

Two however stand out: Rifaat Al Hallab [2], and Abdel Rahman Al Hallab [3] . A visit to either will satisfy the most demanding of sweet teeth.
