Dhour Choueir is one of Mount Lebanon’s most favored summer resorts. At an altitude of 1200 meters, and with the presence of vast pine forests, it offers the best climate for everyone seeking cool, fresh air.

It is a town with many landmarks, some dating hundreds of years. You can see old caves, old mills, ancient bridges, natural water reservoirs, water springs, an old souk with stone paved passages, beautiful houses with old traditional arches…and much more.

It is the birthplace of Antoun Saadeh who founded the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party and of Tanios Bou Nader Khneisser, the father of the Sword & Shield Folkloric Dance.
Dhour El-Choueir is important for its August yearly carnival, honoring Lebanon’s emigrants.
