The name A'ammiq, which has its origin in the old Semitic
tongue, means “the low and deep.” Located in the Manasif AlChouf, the town overlooks the Damour river valley, separating
the Chouf from Aley. The A'ammiq-Rechmayya road, linking
these two areas, passes through the Rechmayya valley, where
the Barouk and Abou Zebleh rivers meet to form the Damour
river.
A convent bearing the name of the Angel Mikhael, which dates
back to the early 18th century and is used as a spiritual
retreat, can be found in the town. The river area of the town
features an old grinding mill that dates back hundreds of
years, with an old cave that can be found on the river's road.

The town’s name can be traced back to the Semitic language,
meaning “the creepy eye.” Ain Zhalta is situated on a southern
hill of Wadi Al-Safa. Among the springs in and around the town
are: Al-Safa Spring; Al-Qa’ah Spring, from where water was
drawn to Beiteddine Palace during the rule of Emir Bachir;
Al-Re’ayan Spring, where a huge pumping station distributes
potable water to Aley, Bhamdoun, and other neighboring areas;
and Ain Al-Hilf, recorded in history as the site where Emir
Bachir held meetings with his adversaries to make peace and
become allies.
In the town are the remains of a citadel that was built during
Ma’ani rule and later was transformed into a Protestant
church. There is also an area called “The Jews’ Cemetery” and
nearby a small, completely ruined village known as Kafra.

Based on historic remains found in the village, researchers
assume that an ancient Aramaean-Phoenician village once
stood in the present day area of Al-Khraibeh .
Situated on the hills overlooking the mid-Chouf, and
surrounded by old pine, cedar and oak forests, the village
of Al-Khraibeh includes a number of old springs, such as the
Al-A'adas spring. The village is known for an old oak tree that
stands in the town and the Church of St. Gerges (Mar Gerges).
In addition, the serail that used to belong to Al-Joumblatt family
is one of the town's important historical heritage sites.

The name Al-Moukhtara , meaning “the chosen,” is a reference
to the decision of Sheikh Ali Rabah Joumblatt (grandfather of
Sheikh Bachir Joumblatt) to choose the village for his palace
grounds. The palace was built in the 17th century over the
ruins of a Roman citadel.
Various palaces and large residences built in the traditional
Lebanese architecture style can be found in this old town.
The Joumblatt palace, in its present form, dates back to the
17th century, and is among the most prominent palaces in
the area. It is characterized by a combination of Orientalist
and Italian artistic styles.It was built on the foundations
of buildings that date back to the 17th century, but were
destroyed in conflicts between the Joumblatt sheikhs and
Bachir Al-Chehabi II in 1825. The palace is distinguished by
its colored glass facades, verandas, rails, windows, marble
columns and decorated arches. This fusion of Orientalist and
Italian elements is representative of much of the 19th century
architecture in this area.

The town of Ba'adaran, which is known for its traditional
Lebanese architecture, is located 7 km south of Al-Moukhtara
village. This form of architecture was common under the reign
of the Emirs and is reminiscent of the edifices at Deir Al-Qamar
and Beiteddine. A number of houses built in this style are still
present in the town, along with the Palace of Ali Pasha Joumblatt,
who lived at the time of Prince Fakhreddine Al-Ma'ani II.
The origin of the name Ba'adaran is disputed by researchers.
Some trace the name back to the Syriac tongue, to mean “the
house of help, aid and relief.” Others say it has its origins
in the Phoenician language and means “a rest station,”
as Ba'adaran was a Roman Army post in 20 B.C. Another
translation of the name is “the immune citadel.”

Ba’aqline 2/2
ø«∏≤©H
Ba’aqline, the first capital of the Ma’an emirs, is situated on
seven green hills located in the Chouf. Emir Fakhreddine II was
born and raised in Ba’aqline, from where he began to enlarge
his emirate by uniting its various districts, in order to get rid of
Ottoman rule and establish an independent state. This and
subsequent events brought historical and political importance
to Ba’aqline as the governing and administrative center of
Mount Lebanon.
The town’s name, which is traced back to the Syriac tongue,
bears several meanings, among them “house of the smart
people,” “the place with many turnings,” and “the thorn’s
location in the mountains.” Other researchers argue that the
name derives from the tribe of Bani Ijel of the Ma’an emirs.
The name Ba’aqline was found in an ancient script mentioning
that the brother of Salah Al-Dine Al-Ayoubi died there in 1209.
Ba’aqline has an abundance of wooded areas and is
characterized by the religious background of its ancient sites,
among them sarcophagi, cemeteries and shrines. The town
is famous for the production of oil, soap and distinctive
handicrafts. Of special interest is the atelier of Artisanat AlChouf, which was established in 1962.
A number of figures prominent in Lebanon’s national life – in
the political, administrative, legal, medical and other domains
– are from Ba’aqline. Today, the town continues to thrive as
the economic center of the Chouf area. Its tourist sites include
a tourist complex, a hotel, and several traditional cafes and
restaurants bordering the Ba’aqline River.

The origin of the town's name is Phoenician, meaning “the
blessed.” A distinguishing feature of Barouk is its renowned
cedar forest, which has been designated as one of Lebanon's
nature reserves. Its various springs and open-air restaurants
have added to the touristic appeal of the area, along with its
status as the birthplace of the Lebanese poet, Rachid Nakhleh
(composer of Lebanon's National Anthem), whose burial place
is frequented by tourists.

The town's name derives from the old Semitic language,
meaning “the house of adjudication.” However, some argue
that the name is Arabic, meaning “the house of worship,”
since it included a khilweh (holy place) for the Druze,
according to folklore.
Beiteddine is home to the famous palace built by Prince Bachir
Al-Chehabi II, who governed Mount Lebanon from 1788 to
1840. The palace's design and structure represent that of
19th century Lebanese architecture. Its construction began in
1812, at which time it was the principality's headquarters, and
continued until 1840, when the prince was exiled, first in Malta
and then in Istanbul, where he died in 1850.
Principality rule was dissolved in the year 1842 and the palace
was converted into a headquarters for Ottoman governors.
In the years 1860-1915, it was used by Mount Lebanon's
Ottoman Mutassarif, and after World War I the palace was
placed under the authority of the French mandate government.
Restoration work on the palace started in 1926, and by the
year 1934, it was designated as a historic building and placed
on the list of Lebanese heritage sites. Beiteddine palace went
on to become a summer residence for the presidency in 1943,
under President Bechara Al-Khoury. Later, the remains of Prince
Bachir were transferred from Istanbul to the palace boundaries
to be placed beside those of his wife, Lady Chams, in 1947.
Beiteddine is a valuable touristic site and was used during the
sixties and seventies for arts and culture festivals. Beiteddine
organizers have resumed this tradition, with internationally
recognized events taking place in the months of July and
August each year.

The name Deir Al-Qamar, meaning Monastery of the Moon,
is attributed to an old folkloric account of the monastery's
construction. The story begins with a group of Christian monks
who discovered a monastery in ruins during the early years of
Ma'an rule. It is said that they rebuilt the monastery, located
at the top of a forest, in the moonlight hours and made their
living during the day.
Another explanation attributes the name to a rock-carved
drawing of the moon on the southern wall of the Saydet
Al-Talleh Church. At the time, the word Qamar referred to
the Semitic God of Sin, and it is believed by some that the
monastery was built over the temple honoring the god.
During the Ottoman era starting in 1516, the rulers of Mount
Lebanon ran their affairs from the administrative centers of
Ba'aqline, Beiteddine and Deir Al-Qamar. Prince Fakhreddine
Al-Ma'ani II, one of the most prominent Ottoman leaders
who extended the frontiers of Mount Lebanon to its present
borders, moved the capital from Ba'aqline to Deir Al-Qamar in
1590. He was forced to make the move owing due to a severe
water shortage in Ba'aqline, and he exercised his rule from the
new capital until his death in 1635. Remnants of his heritage
can still be seen in Deir Al-Qamar today.
After the culmination of the Ma'an family's rule at the end
of the 17th century, the significance of the area began to
diminish gradually, and in less than one century, Beiteddine
replaced Deir Al-Qamar as the capital of Mount Lebanon.
Prince Bachir Al-Chehabi II, who designated the transfer, used
Beiteddine as his administrative headquarters from 1788 to
1840.
With its distinctive, narrow streets that overlook historic
buildings and palaces, Deir Al-Qamar is practically an open-air
museum that dates back several centuries. A decree issued
in 1945 designated the areas around the Ma'an and Chehab
palaces as Lebanese heritage sites, followed by another
decree in 1957, which characterized Deir Al-Qamar as a city
with a special heritage character.
The repair of historic buildings in Deir Al-Qamar began in
the sixties, with urban planning directives in the seventies
identifying the historic sites and living areas in the city. On this
basis, repair and restoration works took place, leading to the
removal of structures that had tarnished the appearance of the
old palaces and serails.
In 1995, Deir Al-Qamar was placed on UNESCO's list of World
Heritage Sites.

The origin of the town’s name is Aramaic, meaning “the
mountain, hill or elevation.” In Roman times it was a caravan
stop and provided resthouse accommodations for people
traveling from Sidon to Syria.
Archeological sites in Jeba’a include a Roman temple and
some ancient sarcophagi, as well as grape presses cut into

The town’s name derives from the Aramaic language,
meaning “corner.” Joun has a wonderful natural environment
characterized by pine forests and a number of springs. There
are 18 grottos in which remnants of ancient pottery and
sarcophagi have been found. Also to be seen in the town are a
Byzantine shrine, three churches and a mosque.
The most important site in Joun is the house of Lady Hester
Stanhope, a member of British aristocracy, who left England
in 1810 to seek adventure in the East, settled permanently
in Lebanon, and remained there until her death in 1839. The
house today lies in ruins, its gardens full of wild flowers and
weeds; and the stone tomb of Lady Stanhope, which was
vandalized during the Lebanese war, no longer bears the
inscriptions that had marked her grave.

Traditional folklore attributes the name Ma'aser Al-Chouf to the
town's numerous grape presses and vine-cultivated lands.
This village is surrounded by Mount Al-Ma'aser, an area covered
with cedar trees that are an extension of the Ma'aser cedar
forest, and also classified as a nature reserve. The Niha-Barouk
mountain range, which overlooks the village, reaches a height of
1,940 meters above sea level. From that point, onlookers can
view the Beqa'a valley, Litani River and Lake Qaraoun.

The town’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning
the “inherited.” Mrousti once was a major terminal on the road
linking the coastal town of Sidon to the Chouf, the Beqa’a and
Syria through a passage known as the “mountainous passage
of Al-Thaghra.” This ancient “highway” location led to the Mrousti
residents becoming well known for their hospitality to strangers. An
outstanding feature of the town is its vast forest of oak trees, some
of which are more than 2,000 years old. Of interest are some
ancient Roman and Byzantine remains, such as Ain Al-Tahta and
Ard Al-Daya’a, as well as the famous Jeita Spring and Ain Al-Sheikh
Bechir Jumblatt. The town also has a 500-year-old Khilweh (a Druze
religious meeting place), known as Khilwet Al-Sheikh Al-Sadek.

The name Niha , which has its origin in the Syriac language,
means “the calm, relaxed and patient.” Located on a hill
overlooking the Chouf town of Niha from the East is a relatively
modern structure that is reputed to house the burial site of Nabi
Ayoub (Job), according to Druze legend. As such, it is one of the
most well-recognized and frequented destinations for the Druze
of the Chouf and the rest of Lebanon. Neighboring geological
formations include a number of natural and man-made caves.
Among them is a cave fortress that was cut into a cliff during
the Crusades in 1165-1260, known as Niha Castle or the Shakif
Tiron. According to local tradition, Prince Fakhreddine Al-Ma'ani II
took refuge in the cave when fleeing from the Ottomans in 1635.
However, the more accurate historical version links the event with
the prince's father, Prince Korkomaz, in 1584. Niha is also home
to the St. Joseph Church and the Ain Al-Qat'ah spring, which are
included in Lebanon's historical and heritage list.
