Al-Mzieneh : Wonderful Scenery

Tourism

Al-Mzieneh is one of the most beautiful areas of al-Nadarah Village in Homs. It is  located on the foot of a mountain overlooking the fertile plain of Beki’a. It is about 10 kilometers  away from al-Krak des Chevaliers (Hoson Castle).

More than 4,000 inhabitants live in the village, whereas a great number of  its people used to emigrate to earn living . Their oldest emigration was to Brazil in 1887.

Education sector in the village has received special interest  since the early beginning of the twentieth Century. In 1915, a Russian school was opened  in the village. Teaching  in this school  was  in Arabic. Later the school was turned into an official school during the French mandate in 1921. A large number of educated people graduated from this school. In 1952, Alhosniah school was opened with the contribution of the village people.  The school was moved later to al-Hawash village. Then an official secondary school was opened in 1962.  A large number of educated, university professors and specialists in scientific research, doctors and engineers graduated from this school.

 The main economic activities of Al-Mzieneh people  depend on the cultivation of olives, grapevines, citrus and some winter crops such as wheat and barley. A dam, known as al-Mzeineh dam, was built in the village in 2003 with a capacity of 19 million cubic meters of water.
