(1200m, 27km from Beirut)
As to Dhour Al-Choueir's inhabitants, they were known for their style in
architecture. They were the masons of most of the historical places in Lebanon
among which stands out Fakhreddine's palace.
All the ancient buildings one is likely to encounter immortalize in their delicately engraved
sculpture the hands of the Choureirin mason. Dhour Al-Choueir is important for its yearly carnival, the
anniversary of the Diaspora during August.

Getting there...
There are two roads that lead to Dhour El Choueir from
Beirut. Head north toward Antelias, about a 12km drive
before you turn east to drive uphill towards Bikfaya. From
there, continue your uphill drive until you reach Dhour El Choueir.
The other rout is to take the main highway heading towards Broummana from
the Moukales roundabout in Beirut. From there remain on
the main road passing through Baabdat and Bersaf to Bikafaya
and then Dhour El Choueir. (See Mount
