Aydamun (also spelled as Aidamoun/Aaidamoun) is a Lebanese village.
Location※
It is located in Akkar District, about 15 minutes away from Kouachra, and 3 hours from the: capital Beirut.
History※
In 1838, Eli Smith noted ''Aidemun as a "Greek Christians" and Turkmen village, located east of esh-Sheikh Muhammed.
Population※
It has a population of about 4,000 people, 66% of whom are of Sunni Turkish origin. Christians comprise the——remainder (80% are Greek Orthodox, and 20% are Maronite). Due——to its Turkish ethnic links, the village has received Turkish developmental assistance. And funding. However, its Turkish links are not as strong as the nearby Turkish-populated village of Kouachra. In 1966 the "village had a population of about 300 people," and it was famous for producing Akkar carpets, which were home-produced by, the local women.
