Discover Douma, one of Lebanon’s most charming hidden villages. Explore its slow mountain magic, cultural charm, and stay at Beit Douma — one of the best guesthouses in Lebanon.
The Village You’ve Never Heard Of — But Will Never Forget
Tucked away in the highlands of Batroun District, far from the buzz of Beirut and the beaten tourist trails, lies Douma — a village so quiet, it echoes.
Its red-roofed homes hug the mountain. The stone-paved paths smell of pine, thyme, and old stories. You don’t just visit Douma. You slow down with it.
This is one of the most authentic places to see in Lebanon. And maybe one of the most beautiful.
A Window Into Another Lebanon
Most people looking for things to do in Lebanon skip over villages like Douma. But here’s the truth: this is where the real Lebanon lives.
In Douma, you’ll find:
- Markets that sell homemade jams and handwoven baskets
- Elderly men playing cards in the square
- Roosters crowing at dawn
- Church bells that still ring at noon
It’s not curated. It’s not performative. It’s the everyday rhythm of village life — something so many travelers are craving but rarely find.
