Douma is a historic town in northeastern Lebanon, located in the Bekaa governorate, near the Syrian border. It is known for its rich cultural heritage, traditional architecture and agricultural economy, and is typical of Lebanese rural life.
With its old stone houses, narrow streets and fertile surrounding farmland, Douma grows mainly grapes, olives and cereals. Historically a center of trade and agriculture, the town has also faced challenges in recent years due to its proximity to conflict zones, but still maintains a resilient community spirit.
Visitors can explore the local historical sites and natural beauty and experience traditional Lebanese village culture. Though small, Douma reflects Lebanon's diverse geography and social landscape.
