Bhamdoun is a town in Lebanon 23kilometers (14miles) from Beirut on the main road that leads to Damascus, lying at an altitude of 1,100meters (3,600feet) above the Lamartine valley. Two separate villages compose the town, Bhamdoun-el-mhatta (literally meaning “Bhamdoun the station”) and Bhamdoun-el-day’aa (“Bhmadoun the village”). A railroad used to link Bhamdoun to Beirut with the train station being a prominent feature of the town for many years. The station and railroad were eventually abandoned when cars became more popular. The population is mostly Orthodox Christian. Before the Lebanese civil war, Bhamdoun was one of Lebanon’s most renowned and favorite summer resorts. Today, the town has regained some of its past touristic industry as most of its hotels, restaurants and entertainment centers have been renovated or rebuilt. Tourists, especially from the Gulf region who once knew Bhamdoun, are returning to spend their summer vacation there. Many have also purchased houses or built their own.
