Description:	The village of Arbaniyeh existed since the 6th century. Arbaniyeh was among the first places to be re-inhabited by Maronites. The first church in Arbaniyeh was built in 1636AD. Arbaniyeh had the biggest Silk factory of the Middle East which was built in 1846. Arbaniyeh was among the first places to be re-inhabited by Maronites. The first church in Arbaniyeh was built in 1636AD. According to Al Duaihi, it was completed on the 6th of July, under the supervision of Youssef Ibn Hlib al Akouri, bishop of Saida, Cheikh Aoun ibn el Makari, Abou Atallah el Koborsi, and Hajj Mikhael Noaimi. This church was the oldest in the region, to the extent that Maronites from the Bekaa used to be buried next to the church. Diggings in the 1950s in the village’s square, revealed tombs of Saghbin (West Bekaa) and Deir el Kamar. Arbaniyeh in the 19th and Early 20th centuries Arbaniyeh was involved in both 1840 and 1860 conflicts with the Druze. In 1840 the people of Arbaniyeh were victorious and managed to burn many Druze villages nearby (Kornayil and Abadiyeh). In 1860, the village was totally burnt including the church, the church that currently exists was rebuilt in 1886. Arbaniyeh had the biggest Silk factory of the Middle East which was built in 1846. The village flourished from the French Morcdalk factory which is located in the part of the village known as Ain Hamada, until WWI when the factory closed down and hunger and disease stroke Lebanon. Two third of the village died out of hunger and disease, a small minority left to the American continent and to Houran in Syria, and an even smaller number managed to survive in the village. The villagers in Dlaybeh all died, except a minority which fled to Houran, and came back later on and revived the village. This program is unique. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit such a wonderful place.
