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.
