Kaslik (Arabic: كسليك) is a town in the Keserwan District of the Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate in Lebanon.[1] The town is home to a variety of 18th-century limestone houses, and a number of historic churches. However, the area was also subject to the rampant development during the Lebanese economic boom of the mid-twentieth century and has become heavily urbanized and now features a variety of factories and industrial plants within its borders. The vast majority of the population is composed by Maronite Christians
Kaslik is today a hub for fishing and leisure ports as well as resorts, hotels, beaches and a shopping area. The town is also home to the USEK University and to international restaurants and cafes.
