Al-Aabbassiyah (Arabic : العباسيّة) is a municipality in the Tyre District in South Lebanon.
According to E. H. Palmer in 1881, the name Aabbassiyah came from the proper name ‘Abbâs, the uncle of the prophet. [1]
Al-Aabbassiyah is located in the South Governorate, Tyre District. It is 150 m above sea level and 84 kilometers to the southwest of Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon, and 14 km from the center of its district Tyre.
In 1875, Victor Guérin estimated the population to be 600 Metawileh. [2]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "A stone-built village, containing 400 Metawileh, built on a ridge, the ground around it is cultivated for barley, etc., and there are groves of figs and olives. The water supply is derived from a large pool to the north, and a good spring built up with masonry, also to the north of the village; there are no antiquities, and only a few cisterns." [3]
In 2014 Muslims made up 98.86% of registered voters in Al-Aabbassiyah. 97.58% of the voters were Shiite Muslims. [4]
