Bramiyeh

Bramiyeh (Arabic: برامية) is a village in the Sidon District of the South Governorate in Lebanon. It is located 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Beirut.

History

In 1838, Eli Smith noted it as el-Buramlyeh, a village located in "Aklim et-Tuffah, adjacent to Seida".

In 1875 Victor Guérin traveled in the region, and noted about El-Bramieh: "I descend to the north through plantations of fig, pomegranate and lemon trees. [] I walk on a plateau whose soil is very fertile, and [] pass to El-Bramieh, a hamlet of about fifty inhabitants, Druses or Christians. There are some ancient tombs carved into the rock."
