Charkiyeh
Charkiyeh (or Charqiyeh (Arabic: الشرقية) ) is a village in the Nabatieh Governorate region of southern Lebanon, located just north of Doueir. Charkiyeh was first settled by the family Cheaib (Arabic: شعيب) whose members escaped systemic persecution in Eastern Lebanon back in 1574 AD by their enemies, the Houbaiches, Assafs and Saifas. Ranking members of the Cheaibs and their families fled to different parts of Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Palestine and Egypt where they currently reside and are well known especially in Nabatieh Governorate (Arabic: محافظة النبطية), Egypt and in South Lebanon. The Cheaibs trace their family roots to the ancient city of Arqa (Arabic: عرقة) in the North governorate.
