Toura (Arabic: طورا) is a small town in the Tyre District in South Lebanon, located 9 kilometres northeast of Tyre.

Name

According to E. H. Palmer in 1881, the name Torah comes from "flowing water".[1]

History

In 1875, Victor Guérin found here 450 Metawileh. He further noted that the village occupied "the summit of a hill entirely covered with fig-trees."[2]

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A village of mud and stone, situated on the top of a hill, and surrounded by figs, olives, and arable land. There are a spring and cisterns. It contains about 200 Metawileh."[3]
