Aydamun (also spelled as Aidamoun or Aaidamoun)[1][2][3] is a Lebanese village.[4]

Location

[edit]

It is located in Akkar District, about 30 minutes away from the governorate's capital Halba, and 3 hours from the capital Beirut.[4]

History

[edit]

In 1838, Eli Smith noted ''Aidemun as a "Greek Christians" and Turkmen village, located east of esh-Sheikh Muhammed.[5]

Population

[edit]

It has a population of about 4,000 people, 66% of whom are of Sunni Turkish origin. Christians comprise the remainder (80% are Greek Orthodox, and 20% are Maronite).[4] Due to its Turkish ethnic links, the village has received Turkish developmental assistance and funding. However, its Turkish links are not as strong as the nearby Turkish-populated village of Kouachra.[6] In 1966 the village had a population of about 300 people, and it was famous for producing Akkar carpets, which were home-produced by the local women.[7]
