Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox settlement Aitat, or Aytat (Шаблон:Lang-ar), is a town located Шаблон:Convert west of the town of Aley within the district of the same name in the Lebanese governorate of Mount Lebanon. It was a strategic place during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), due to its view to Beirut.

History

In 1838, Eli Smith noted the place, called Aithath, located in El-Ghurb el-Fokany, upper el-Ghurb.[1]

With its neighboring Christian town of Souk El-Gharb, this town remains one of the most memorable places in Lebanon for the Druze and the Christians as a reminder the fierce and deadly battles that occurred during the Lebanese Civil War. Today Aitat and Souk El-Gharb are considered to be the symbol of unity and forgiveness.Шаблон:Cn

The Abi Saab's, Timani’s and Talhouq's, are the most well known families of Aitat and the Aley district.Шаблон:Cn
