Haret Hreik
Haret Hreik is a mixed Shia and Maronite Christian municipality, in the Dahieh suburbs, south of Beirut, Lebanon. It is part of the Baabda District. Once an agricultural and Christian village, Haret Hreik lost its rural and Christian identity due to the wave of Shia Muslim refugees from Southern Lebanon who settled in the town and made it another urban neighborhood of Dahieh.| Tap on a place to explore it |
