Bsharri District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bsharri District is a district (qadaa) of the North Governorate, Lebanon.

The population of the district was estimated to be 16,831 by the Ministry of Social Affairs.^[1] The capital of the district is Bsharri. (This source is very inaccurate considering the fact the report is based on 1997, and also according to the Daily Star, a Lebanese newspaper a total of 20,000 people from the Bsharri district voted in the 2005 elections, concluding that over 20,000 people live in this district.)

The Bsharri District is bordered by the Zgharta and Minieh-Dinnieh Districts to the north, the Koura District to the west, the Baalbek District to the east and the Batroun District to the south.

The Bsharri district is predominantly Maronite Catholic.
