- Zahlé the capital and the largest city of Beqaa Governorate, Lebanon. It is the third largest city in Lebanon after Beirut and Tripoli, and the fourth largest taking the whole urban area.
Zahlé is located 55 km (34 mi) east of the capital Beirut, close to the Beirut-Damascus road, and lies at the junction of the Lebanon mountains and the Beqaa plateau, at a mean elevation of 1,000 m. Zahlé is known as the "Bride of the Beqaa" and "the Neighbor of the Gorge" for its geographical location and attractiveness, but also as "the City of Wine and Poetry" It is famous throughout Lebanon and the region for its pleasant climate, numerous riverside restaurants and quality arak. Its inhabitants are predominantly Greek Catholic and are known as Zahlawis.
There has been human activity in the area for at least 5000 years. In the 18th century, Zahlé was a small village of some 200 houses. Its relative geographic isolation from the local centres of power in Mount Lebanon and Syria caused the village not to have any significant allies in the region to fall back on in case of conflicts or attacks. Zahlé was burned in 1777 and 1791.
Tradition holds that many Christians quit the Baalbek region in the 18th century for the newer, more secure town of Zahlé on account of the Harfush dynasty's oppression and rapacity, but more critical studies have questioned that interpretation by pointing out that the dynasty was closely allied to the Orthodox Ma‘luf family of Zahlé (where Mustafa Harfush took refuge some years later) and showing that depredations from various quarters as well as Zahlé’s growing commercial attractiveness accounted for Baalbek's decline in the 18th century. What repression there was did not always target the Christian community per se. The Shiite ‘Usayran family, for example, is also said to have left Baalbek then to avoid expropriation by the Harfushes and established itself as one of the premier commercial households of Sidon and later even served as consuls of Iran.
At the end of the 18th century, Zahlé had one thousand inhabitants and two hundred houses. By 1820, Zahlé's population had grown to 5,000. By 1850 it was 7 to 8,000 and the town had become the commercial centre for the Beka'a and main depot for the local grain harvest. Some of the factors for the expansion included the Egyptian Occupation (1831-1841), which lead to the opening of the country to European trade, the Crimean War which had caused grain shortages in Europe and the expansion of silk production in Mount Lebanon.
Besides controlling the grain trade Zahlé became a centre for livestock from Kurdistan and Arabia and produced leather, woven and dyed goods, trading with Aleppo, Damascus and Beirut. By the 1860s and 1870s the local merchants were prosperous but were still dependent on banks in Beirut for credit for their transactions.
The current population is not accurately known, since no census has been conducted in Lebanon since 1932, but a sensible estimate gives 60,000 people in the town proper,[citation needed] making it the country's fourth largest (the locals tend to give figures of 200,000 or 300,000 inhabitants, which however are misleading and completely unrealistic) The urban area includes the neighbouring towns of Saadnayel, Taalabaya, Chtaura and Jdita to the Southwest, which have come to form a single urban entity since the late 1990s due to anarchic growth, and is home to about 100,000 people. The metropolitan area extends over much of the Zahlé District and additionally comprises:
the town of Kab Elias to the Southwest
the town of Bar Elias to the South
the villages of Furzol, Ablah and Niha to the Northeast
and the towns of Riyaq, Haoush Hala and Ali en Nahri to the East
with a total population close to 200,000.

To whom interested, Here’s a newer version video for zahle 😍 czcams.com/video/41PevsnCHPE/video.html
I visited Zahle in 1933. Was there for a year. I was 4. My strong memory was of a very small villiage. I especially remember the village bakery where the women stood around and talked to each other while their dough was in the oven. I love my near eastern heritage.
That’s nice! So you are 92 years old watching and commenting on youtube, respect sir, hope that you keep your Lebanese roots nourished 🙏 love fm 🇱🇧
1933? wow. thanks for sharing this. hope you're still going strong.
I was born in Zahlé in may 1932. And am so proud of it….
To all Zahlean salam alekoum

My grandfather moved from Zahle to Brasil in 1920. His father was a priest in the Orthodox Church - Cury Issa Abi-Chaim Daud. Many of my relatives are now in Sao Paulo. It is great to see my grandfather's hometown in such clarity, thank you.
Otavio Decio . Hello Otavio, Glad to hear that you are natively from Zahle, Lebanon and that your grandpa was a priest too, keep on empowering your Lebanese roots and try to visit often! Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay tuned !
My great grandfather left around a similar time to Canada (then the US). 🙂
Grow your 🇱🇧 roots👍
My great-grandfather (Big Gidi) and his brother fled Lebanon in the 30s and hopped a ship to Colombia after their entire family was killed fighting the Turks. They forged Colombian birth certificates, and then traveled from South America into the US via Ellis Island. On paper I’m 50% Colombian, but my genetics are 50% Lebanese! Lol, small world.
Interesting but sad story at the same time! Cherish your 🇱🇧 roots

I left lebanon until today i never came back. for 10 cents we could buy a conic paper seeds to eat, or a nougat sesame for 25 cents. i also remember wadi al 3arayech which we use to go around for weekend. Mére Denise Bitar was the head chief of school. Greetings from the South

Si le grand poète Ahmed Chawki lui a consacré un poème, poème mis ensuite en musique et chanté par le grand Mohammed Abdelwahab, c'est que Zahlé doit être la ville la plus belle et la plus agréable au monde.
C'est une très belle ville avec ses monuments et ses structures architecturales magique.merci pour le partage.je suis d'Algérie je pense visiter le Liban inchallah

There's a big Zahle population here where I live in Brazil, in Fortaleza. My grandparents were born in Zahle, my father has 100% Lebanese blood. Anyone has information of Ary or Khary family in Zahle? Thanks
Marcos H. Ary . If the consulate or embassy near you could not help out, drop us an email from the contact tab on a pc and will send you a contact address for the foreign ministry to help you out. You need to visit Lebanon to re-feed and get to know your family roots, all the best though, stay tuned
CNK Hobbies Thank you very much.

the Greek Catholics are in the majority in Zahlé, isn't it the Maronites?
We are Lebanese only. But to answer your question, Zahle is considered the largest city for the Greek Catholic doctrine in Lebanon, and Khenchara comes 2nd. You’re Welcome
@@CNKHobbies thank you for the answer and long live Lebanon ❤️🇱🇧

Zahle é linda minha avó e avô nasceram, cresceram e casaram-se nessa bela cidade. Mas por causa dos conflitos eles tiveram que imigrar para o Brasil (Maceio) mas seus corações sempre tiveram em Zahle.
