Choueifat
Village
Choueifat is one of the biggest and most important cities south of Beirut in Lebanon. The local population of the city is made up of mostly Druze and a Christian minority, but in the last 25 years, many Beirutis have moved in to escape the capital's high rents, while many southerners have found Choueifat a good alternative to the crowded southern suburb known as Dahieh. Choueifat is situated 2½ km east of Beirut International Airport.

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. Haret Hreik is situated 4 km northeast of Beirut International Airport.
