Random village in Lebanon #6

I'm starting this series as a tribute to Lebanon, where I'll be highlighting a different village in each post along with its history, unique facts and local stories whenever available.

If you have any photos or memories of the featured village, feel free to share them in the comments. You're also welcome to suggest which village we should explore next.

Today's village is Kfar Houneh

Located in Jezzine District of South Lebanon (75 km from Beirut), Kfar Houneh lies at an elevation of roughly 1,000 metres surrounded by dense pine forests and rolling hills. The village has a population of a few thousand residents, many of whom have traditionally relied on agriculture particularly olives, vineyards and fruits.

The name Kfar Houneh is of Syriac origin with "Kfar" means "village" and "Houneh" is believed to refer to "grace" or as I saw online, it could be a personal name so its exact meaning remains debated.

The village is best known for its cool mountain climate, scenic hiking trails and its proximity to the Barouk and Niha mountain ranges, making it a peaceful retreat for nature lovers throughout the year.

Why are Druze women like this?

So I went to the University of Sussex where I met a few Druze girls, from Lebanon etc; and their entire mindset and motto during university was to get run through by as many men as possible because they're not allowed to marry outside of their religion, and their parents will disown them. I really hope none of you guys end up getting married to them cos they were with a new guy every week but hiding from the next guy. This one girl who went on to become a lawyer got done by five of my friends and her own marijuana dealer. Best of luck.
