It is 350 m above sea level and 89 kilometers to the southwest of Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon, or about an hour and a half, and 16 km from the center of its district Tyre. Its land area is 404 hectares. The number of its registered residents is 5000, expatriates 1500. [2]

History

In 1875, Victor Guérin found the village, (which he called Djennateh), to have 60 Metawileh inhabitants.[3] He further noted: "The village contains a number of ruined houses. A little mosque is partly built of ancient materials."[4]

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A small village of stone and mud, containing about 100 Moslems. […] It lies low, on arable land. The water is supplied by two wells in the village."[5]
