Aitou The word Aitou means summer and heat, or wild bear. The village is a very old one whose houses are spread over a hill (from 700m to 1000m altitudes) of the north-eastern slope of the Aitou mountain (peak 1400m altitudes) overlooking the whole plain of al-Zawieh, Tripoli and the sea. In this village, Canaanite remains have been found, such as the beautiful carved sarcophagus east of Aitou, and the deep well carved out in the rock near the church of the Virgin Mary. |
