Shhiim ({{lang-ar| شحيم}}) alternatively written as Shheem or Chhim is a town in Lebanon which is located 47 kilometres south-east of Beirut. Shhiim is located on 4 mountains in the Chouf region in Lebanon. It is inhabited by Sunnite Muslims. Chimm has a population of about 49,000. It is considered a city by some people. The most known families in Shhiim are Oueidat, Daher, El Hajjar, Moallem, Chaaban, Fawaz, Abdallah, Hajj-Chehade, Younes, Mrad, Saab and El Khatib.

Shhiim is the largest Sunnite town in the Chouf region. The community lives in harmony and there have never been any issues in Shhiim,{{Citation needed|date=July 2015}} despite the sectarian violence that Lebanon has suffered from the past 40 years or so. It has been in a battleground long ago when the French and British forces fought here around a century ago. Shhiim has suffered from excessive building which has been ruining its nature. Shhiim was built on a huge forest where wolves and hyenas lived in. However, forests still can be found in and around Shhiim. The town is rich in olive trees.

Shhiim is often confused within size due to many parts of it having different names; some more familiar parts of Shhiim include Marj-Ali, Sahle, Jabal swed, and Jirid. These and many others are part of Shhiim but have different names.

Shhiim contains 11 schools, 8 of which are public. It also contains two hospitals, one of them is public, and the other is private.

Features

Shhiim contains many mosques and is mostly inhabited by Sunni Muslims.

It is the site of one of many Temples of the Beqaa Valley.[1][2]

Roman Temple

The temple at Shhiim faces east and has a small porch. There is a carving of the sun god Helios on one of the doorframes. Another carving portrays the image of a priest with outstretched arms.[2]
