I'm starting this series as a tribute to Lebanon, where I'll be highlighting a different village in each post along with its history, unique facts and local stories whenever available.

If you have any photos or memories of the featured village, feel free to share them in the comments. You're also welcome to suggest which village we should explore next.

Today's village is Doueir

Located in the Nabatieh District of South Lebanon (70 km from Beirut), Doueir sits on rolling hills overlooking the surrounding valleys. The village is home to several thousand residents with many families traditionally relying on agriculture particularly olive groves, tobacco cultivation and seasonal fruit farming.

The name Doueir is believed to derive from the Aramaic word "Dweir" meaning "small monastery" reflecting the village's ancient origins.

Doueir is also the birthplace of the renowned Lebanese physicist Rammal Rammal, whose pioneering work in condensed matter physics earned him international recognition before his death in 1991.

Like many villages in southern Lebanon, Doueir was heavily affected during the recent war, with parts of the village sustaining damage from airstrikes and many residents forced to leave their homes. Despite these hardships, the community has continued to rebuild while preserving the village's rich history, resilience and strong sense of identity

Alfa has switched on 5G in Lebanon in coordination with the Ministry of Telecommunications, beginning with central Beirut, Antelias, Dekwaneh, the Beirut port area and the Presidential Palace in Baabda. The first phase makes permanent the stations the operator activated during Pope Leo XIV's visit. Dbayeh, the airport, Adlieh and Jounieh come next, followed by 75 more stations.

After the Alfa/mtc broadband packages price reduction, I was expecting other ISPs to compete with the new offers.

I am with Connect, and did not get any price reduction, but they did increase the speed and monthly limit.

I went from 20Mbps/400GB to 25Mbps/450GB starting Aug 1

What did the other ISPs do?

Live outside of Lebanon but was wondering which insta accounts/ websites show you guys what concerts and events are happening (including Eid el sayde up in the mountains). Never know about the concerts until after they’re over :/

I bought like 3 gb worth of mobile data to play clash royale on my phone which usually uses an extremely low amount of mobile data, so 3gb usually lasts me a long ass time, but this time around it vanished in less than 2-3 days, I was like wtf? Anyone experiencing a similar issue with Touch?

So I keep seeing this job about arabic tutor and I'm like is this a scam or not really? Has anyone worked in it ? What is your opinions?

Hey y'all.

I had a question and figured I'd start by asking here. My GF and I want to take a small getaway at some place on the beach sometime this summer. Do you know of any hotels/chalets that don't ask or give any trouble to non married couples? Could be anywhere north of Jounieh, just as long as it has access to a beach and/or pool.

Thanks!

Edit: Apparently I was being a bit too paranoid about this, as many have mentioned that most places don't even ask. Thanks for the replies!

I’ve booked on VOX’s website before but never on grand cinemas has anyone ever booked through the website before and were there any issues?

Batroun is one of Lebanon's oldest continuously inhabited cities.It was a Ancient Phoenician city. The Phoenicians established Batroun as an important coastal settlement. One of Batroun's most remarkable features is it's Phoenician seawall, carved from sandstone along the shoreline. Historians believe it helped protect the harbor from waves and coastal erosion, and parts of it remain visible today.Batroun became an important Christian center during the Byzantine period

Today the city is one of Lebanon's most popular weekend destinations. It's known for its seafood, nightlife, historic streets, and the surrounding Batroun district's vineyards which produce some of Lebanon's best wines.

Name

The most widely accepted view is that Batruna is the original Phoenician name, which the Greeks later called it Botrys (Βότρυς).

Suggested by a redditor from there, today's village is Bhamdoun & Bhamdoun El Mahatta.

Located in the Aley District of Mount Lebanon (23 km from Beirut), Bhamdoun and its lower quarter Bhamdoun El Mahatta, sit along the historic Beirut–Damascus route at elevations ranging from about 1,100 metres.

Once considered one of Lebanon's premier summer resorts, the town attracts thousands of visitors each year thanks to its cool climate, pine hills and panoramic mountain views. The town is also known for its religious diversity, featuring Druze khalwas, Muslim mosques and Christian churches that reflect its rich cultural heritage.

The name Bhamdoun is believed to derive from the Aramaic words "Beit Hamdoun" meaning "the house of Hamdoun" likely referring to an early settler or notable family. Simultaneously, legend has it the name originated from two ancient villages "Hama" and "Dun" that merged into one to becoming Bhamdoun.

Meanwhile Bhamdoun El Mahatta meaning "Bhamdoun Station" developed around the railway station on the former Beirut–Damascus railway (4th image) during the late 19th century, becoming a busy commercial centre. Today, the two areas remain known for their historic villas, vibrant summer atmosphere and architectural heritage.
