Aaiha
Aaiha (or Aiha) is a village, plain, lake, and temporary wetland situated in the Rashaya District and south of the Beqaa Governorate in Lebanon.〔(Discover Lebanon - Map of Aaiha )〕〔(Wild Lebanon - Wetlands, Lakes and Rivers )〕 It is located in an intermontane basin near Mount Hermon and the Syrian border, approximately halfway between Rashaya and Kfar Qouq.
The village sits c. above sea level and the small population is predominantly Druze.〔〔(British Druze Society - Druze communities in the Middle East )〕 Wild wheats ''Triticum boeoticum'' and ''T. urartu'' grow in this area, also used for farming goats. There is a nearby tomb of a Muslim saint and a Roman ruins thought to be a temple or citadel that is now totally destroyed〔〔(Qada' (Caza) Rachaya - Promenade Tourist Brochure, published by The Lebanese Ministry of Tourism )〕〔Munir Said Mhanna (Photos by Kamal el Sahili), Rashaya el Wadi Tourist Brochure, p. 10, Lebanon Ministry of Tourism, Beirut, 2006〕
==Aaiha plain, Aaiha lake and Aaiha intermittent lake==
The village is situated on a ridge next to Aaiha plain, an intermittent lake that forms a near perfect circular shape, approximately in diameter and enclosed by mountains and the ridge on the west.〔 The plain is completely level with no particularly visible outlet for water, which occasionally floods the basin to a depth of several feet to form a lake. The creation of the lake is assisted by fountains that well up through a large chasm in the northwest and a smaller fissure in the southeast. It has also been noted that when the waters subside, they drain down these fissures. Investigative potholers have claimed a permanent stream flows underneath these fissures.
