Travel to Lebanon: Visit Beit Chabeb

beit Chabab Lebanon sunset 9648478 300x140 Travel to Lebanon:  Visit Beit Chabeb If you ever travel to Lebanon, you won’t miss renowned Lebanon Cities, but a word of advice from Lebanon Packages is not to miss Lebanon villages.  For that reason, our site will be reviewing some of the must see Lebanese Villages.

Today, we will be talking about Beit Chabeb, a village situated in the northern Metn, 18 to 24 km from Beirut, 630 meters above sea level.  This village is renowned for its historic handicraft industries that differentiate it from other villages.  Its original name “Beit Chababco” from Syriac means the neighbor’s house.  Its inhabitants live there all through the seasons, even though like most Lebanon villages and cities, a lot of emigrating citizens come to their native village during summer and Christmas vacations.

Beit Chabeb is characterized by old traditional houses.  Old, famous and grand mansions from the village have been portayed by artists as representing the symbol of Lebanese tradition.  It is often said that Beit Chabeb is among the seven most beautiful Lebanon Villages.

Beit Chabeb handicraft industries date to the 18th century and consist of pottery, bell, textile and silk industries and are mentioned in almost every student history book, even though these suffer today from local and international competition, and some if not most are facing extinction, and even though the old houses that were used to host the textile inventory, now lie forsaken.

Fifteen old churches can be found within the village, as well as a monastery, something that is not equaled by any other Lebanese village.  Three colleges, two of them private, one technical university, a special handicapped hospital and a sporting club contribute to the development of the village, and make it appear more like a larger town.

Whenever you’re visiting the region, be it on your own or through one of the available Lebanon Tours, do not hesitate to ask to visit Beit Chabeb, as part of your travel to Lebanon.

    That is understandable that cash can make us independent. But how to act if one has no cash? The only one way is to get the loan or consolidation loan.

You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
