Charkiyeh
Charkiyeh is a village in the Nabatieh Governorate region of southern Lebanon, located just north of Doueir. Charkiyeh was first settled by the family Cheaib whose members escaped systemic persecution in Eastern Lebanon back in 1574 AD by their enemies, the Houbaiches, Assafs and Saifas. Ranking members of the Cheaibs and their families fled to different parts of Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Palestine and Egypt where they currently reside and are well known especially in Nabatieh Governorate, Egypt and in South Lebanon. The Cheaibs trace their family roots to the ancient city of Arqa in the North governorate.
