Salhieh (ar|صالحية ) is a village in the Sidon District of the South Governorate in Lebanon. It is located from Beirut.[1]
In 1838, Eli Smith noted es-Salihiyeh, as a village located in "Aklim et-Tuffah, adjacent to Seida".[2]
In 1875 Victor Guérin traveled in the region, and noted: "I go up to Salhaieh, through gardens planted with fig trees, olive trees and mulberry trees. It is located on a beautiful and high hill, 2 kilometers west-northwest of Kefr Djerra. Its population exceeds 400 inhabitants, Maronites or United Greeks. The church and a number of houses are newly built, with more or less regular stones that have been partly found on site. A spring collected under an ogival vault is next to several ancient tombs."[3]
