Zeita ( Arabic: زيتا) is a village in the Sidon District of the South Governorate in Lebanon. It is located 55 kilometres (34 mi) from Beirut. [1]
In 1875 Victor Guérin traveled in the region, and he "reached Zeita, a village that crowns a high hill and whose name seems ancient. Its population is 200, all Métualis." [2]
