Lala (Arabic: لالا), is a village located in the Western Beqaa District of the Beqaa Governorate in Lebanon.
In 1838, Eli Smith noted it as Lala; a Sunni Muslim village in the Beqaa Valley.[1]
In the early 1990s, the 2,500 residents of Lala relied on the village's 7,500 emigrants living abroad for 70% of their income.[2]
