Souk El Gharb (also spelled Suk, Sug al, ul, Suq) is a village in the Mount Lebanon Governorate, Aley District, in the country of Lebanon. The name of the village translates to "Western Market." Before the Lebanese Civil War, it was a prosperous mountain resort, nestled in the Aley District Mountains of Mount Lebanon in a pine forest and overlooking Saint George Bay and Beirut. Being only a few kilometers from the mountain city of Aley, it is considered today one of Aley's suburbs. The villages that lie between Aley and Souk El Gharb are Bmakine and the two Ains (the modern spelling in Lebanese is 3ayn): Ain el-Sayydé (our Lady's spring), and Ain el-Rimmané (the spring of the pomegranate). South of Souk El Gharb lies the village of Kaifun. == Churches == *The Saint George Greek Catholic Abbey of Bmakine. *The Saint George Greek Orthodox Abbey, which was started in 1570 and serves as the Summer seat of the Orthodox Metropolitan of Beirut.〔(Quartos ) Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Beirut web site〕 Note, An abbey is a place of worship associated with a monastery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Souk El Gharb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
