About Ain Baal

Ain Baal borders Tyre, Batolay, Bazooreye and Hanaway. Famous for the tomb of King Hiram that is founded on the borders with Batolay. The influence of Hiram on this village is very obvious, where you can find schools, convenience stores, barbershops and restaurants named after the king. In the late 1990s Nabih Berri honored this village by building a humble soccer stadium on the sides of the village. Ain Baal plays a strategic role for the southern Lebanese residents, where they can live in the village and enjoy a calm atmosphere away from Tyre traffic and at the same time they can visit Tyre in a short period of time to get there needs.
