Aytat
Aitat, or Aytat, is a town located west of the town of Aley within the district of the same name in the Lebanese governorate of Mount Lebanon. It was a strategic place during the Lebanese Civil War, due to its view to Beirut.
With its neighboring Christian town of Souk El-Gharb, this town remains one of the most memorable places in Lebanon for the Druze and the Christians as a reminder the fierce and deadly battles that occurred during the Lebanese Civil War. Today Aitat and Souk El-Gharb are considered to be the symbol of unity and forgiveness.
The Abi Saab's, Talhouq's, and Timani's are the most well known families of Aitat and the Aley district.
