The village of Dhour Shweir lies on a northwestern peninsula,
overlooking the city of Beirut, Jounieh, Mount Sannine and theMediterranean. It
is 30 Km from Beirut and 42 Km from Beirut International Airport.
With 400 year old houses, narrow alleys and old churches, Choueir is a village
whose traditional fabric and essence has been well preserved…
Dhour Al-Choueir's inhabitants, like Tanios Bou-Nader
and his sons Jamil and Joseph Bou-Nader, were famous for their style in
architecture. They were the masons of most of the historical places in Lebanon.
All the ancient buildings one is likely to encounter immortalize in their
delicately engraved sculpture the hands of the Choureirin masons. Dhour Al-Choueir
is important for its annual Mahrajan for Immigrants.
