Kfeir (
Arabic: الكفير) is a small village nestled 900 m above sea level, in Hasbaiya District (Qada'a), an administrative division of Nabatiyeh Governorate (Mohafazah) along the steep slopes of the top of the Jebel Sheikh in Lebanon
.
The village enjoys mild summers of an average temperature of 25°C. However, the winters are much colder and the village receives heavy snow. Kfeir's high altitude allows fog to form above the hills even in summer, giving the village a mystical and spiritual scenery.
The inhabitants of Kfeir are
Druze
, and they mainly cultivate olives, pines and other fruit trees.
