Kousba (Arabic: كوسبا) is a town located in the Batroun District of the North Governorate in Lebanon. Situated in the northern part of the country, it is nestled in the foothills of Mount Lebanon, offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and the Mediterranean Sea.
Geographically, Kousba is positioned at an altitude that provides a moderate climate, suitable for agriculture, historically including olive groves and vineyards. The town is primarily Christian, with several ancient churches and monasteries, reflecting its long-standing religious heritage. Its historical significance is often tied to these religious sites and its traditional Lebanese architecture.
Administratively, Kousba falls under the jurisdiction of the Batroun District, which is known for its blend of coastal and mountainous villages. Like many Lebanese towns, Kousba experiences a demographic ebb and flow, with a significant diaspora population maintaining ties to their ancestral home, particularly during summer months.
