Choueifat (Arabic: شويفات) is a suburb southeast of Beirut in Lebanon. The town is a Druze and Christian enclave that lies on the eastern side of Beirut's airport. The local population of the city is made up of mostly Druze and Christians, but in the last 25 years, many Beirutis have moved in to escape the capital's high rents, while many southerners have found Choueifat a good alternative to the crowded southern suburb known as Ad-Dahiyah.
[edit] Economy
The town is home to 150 factories, making it one of Lebanon's largest industrial areas.[1]
[edit] Education
The most renowned education institute in the town is the International School of Choueifat.
