Doueir (Arabic: دوير, ad-Duwayr), or Dweir, is a village of 7,500 inhabitants in Southern Lebanon near Nabatieh, and north of the Litani River. It is located directly next to the village of Charkiyeh. Although Doueir is considered a big village, it is the home of many well-known Lebanese such as former Labour minister Ali Qanso, and the late physics scientist Rammal Rammal.
History
In 1875 Victor Guérin found it to be a large village with 800 Metuali inhabitants.
During the 2006 Lebanon War, Doueir was among the first targets of the Israel Defense Forces, with a family of 12 killed on July 13. The village has since benefited from investment by the Italian government to build a new olive oil mill.
