Visiting Nabi Chit in Bekaa Valley

The town of Al-Nabi Chiit derives its name from a shrine to the Nabi (prophet) named Chiit, although the prophet himself is not buried there. According to local tradition, a townsman decided to build the shrine in homage to the actual Nabi Chiit shrine, which he visited in Iraq.
