About Dar Zefta
Built in 1911 and restored by Bahjat Al-Darwish, Dar Zefta has become more than a guesthouse. With its stone arches, wooden windows, olive-grove terraces, and authentic southern hospitality, it now serves as a space for exhibitions, workshops, photo sessions, cultural events, and local food gatherings.
The official opening of Zefta Arthouse will take place on Saturday, January 31 at 11 AM. The invitation is open to all art and culture lovers.
With this new project, Dar Zefta continues to prove that heritage and innovation can coexist. And that South Lebanon has more to offer than ever in terms of beauty, art, and cultural richness.
