Haret Al Fawar (Arabic: حارة الفوار) is a village in Zgharta District, in the Northern Governorate of Lebanon. Its population is composed of Maronite Christians Sunni Muslims.[1]

The village is located on a foothill of Terboul Mountain, surrounded by valleys. It stands 196 metres (643 ft) above sea level.[2] There's a mosque located in the middle of the old section of the village. As well as a modern hall for Islamic occasions such as weddings and the celebration of Mawlid of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. More than 80% of its population are Muslims, and most are with AICP (Association of Islamic Charitable Projects).[citation needed]

Haret Al Fawar's residents trade olives and oil, in addition to other items, such as figs, wheat and other green plants[which?] which grow naturally in the region.

Etymology

[edit]

The village's name, which translates to "bubbling lane," originates from an old stream that used to be a main source of drinking water for the residents. [citation needed]

History

[edit]

For the past 100 years, the village has been populated by three main families: Awik, Jalloul, and Tabbaa. During the Lebanese civil war, from 1975 until 1990, the village witnessed much destruction due to bombardment from the war. As it was considered strategic with a good view of the surrounding areas.
