Two Towns Named Jdeideh in Lebanon

Yes, Lebanon has two distinct municipalities named Jdeideh (also spelled Jdaydeh, Jdeidet), located in different governorates:

  1. Jdeideh el-Metn (Jdeideh, Metn District) – In the Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate (Mount Lebanon), just northeast of Beirut. A densely populated suburban town, part of Greater Beirut's urban sprawl. Known for its historic churches, souks, and the St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral.
  2. Jdeideh (Akkar District) – In the Akkar Governorate, far north near the Syrian border. A smaller, predominantly Sunni Muslim town in a rural, agricultural region.

They are over 100 km apart and belong to separate administrative districts (qada). When searching for addresses, businesses, or relatives, always specify the district (Metn vs. Akkar) to avoid confusion.
