The district (qada) is the second tier of Lebanon, between the nine governorates and the municipalities, and the unit the Lebanese give when they say where they are from. There are 26 of them, counting Beirut, from the tiny districts of the coast and the Matn to the long, empty ones of the north east.
The districts of Lebanon. Most are named for their main town, so the name of a town is usually the name of a district too. Several of the names have more than one English spelling: this quiz uses Bsharri, Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun, Matn, Sidon and Tyre.
The districts are very uneven. Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon and the Matn are small and crowded along the coast, and Beirut is small enough that zooming in is the way to reach it. At the other extreme, Baalbek, Akkar and Hermel in the north east are far larger than the districts of the mountain.
The groups are the governorates, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Each governorate answers under the same name in Lebanon Governorates.
Beirut is both a district and a governorate: the city itself, on a headland into the sea. Almost all of the urban area around it lies in the Matn, Baabda and Keserwan districts of Mount Lebanon.
Baalbek is the largest district in the country, reaching from the Beqaa valley to the Syrian border, and holds the Roman temples that give it its name.
Akkar is the district in the far north, along the Syrian border, and the one most often lost off the top of a map. It is also a governorate of its own.
26, counting Beirut, spread over the nine governorates.
The quiz groups them by governorate, so you can drill one at a time. Each governorate is its own quiz as well.
The map is drawn on the land the district administers, and the districts of the dry north east are large and thinly populated, while those of the coast and the mountain are small and crowded.
The tier above this one is Lebanon Governorates. For another country at this level, see Sri Lanka Districts.
