Today's village is Sir El Danniyeh
Sir el Denniyeh is located in North Lebanon (12km from Tripoli and 112 km from Beirut). Perched at 900 - 1150m above sea level, it is a village admired for its magnificent landscapes and natural resources.
Its underground water reservoirs are known to be the largest not only in Lebanon but across the entire Middle East. There are also more than 200 springs reaching as high as 1,713m above sea level. Given that the land is highly fertile, the economy of Sir el Denniyeh relies largely on agriculture.
The origins of the name is believed to be of Syriac origins meaning "mountains" or "springs".
