Nabatîyé et Tahta

Nabatieh or Nabatiyeh is the largest city in the Nabatieh Governorate of southern Lebanon. It serves as the administrative center of both the governorate (mohafazat) and the district (kaza) of Nabatieh, and is the principal city of the Jabal Amil region. The population is uncertain, as Lebanon has not conducted a national census since 1932; estimates range from 25,000 to 100,000 inhabitants. The city is predominantly inhabited by Shia Muslims. Nabatieh is an important economic, administrative, and cultural center, located approximately 73 km (45 mi) south of Beirut.
