Damour (Arabic: الدامور) is a Lebanese Christian town that is 19.2 kilometres south of Beirut. This city was made infamous in January 1976 during the Lebanese Civil War when it was attacked by militants from Palestinan organizations and the Lebanese National Movement (LNM).
In 2009, Damour was selected as the future site of the first artificial island off the coast of Lebanon. The project is set to start construction later this year. [1]
Beirut-based developer, Noor Investment Holding has presented a detailed explanation of the Cedar Island project to the Investment Development Authority of Lebanon (IDAL) and is waiting for approval. [2]
