Mdoukha (Arabic: مذوخا) is a village and municipality 72 kilometres (45 mi) east of Beirut in the Rashaya District, Beqaa Governorate, Lebanon.[2][3][4] A significant majority of the population is considered to be Lebanese Canadian, with 60% living in London, Ontario.[5] Most of the population identifies as Sunni Muslim.[citation needed]

Mdoukha lies at the foothills of Mount Hermon (which can be seen from many different points in and around the town) in the Rashaya District of the Beqaa Valley, about 15 kilometres northwest of Mount Hermon, and 72 kilometres east of Beirut.[6] It sits 1102 metres above sea level.[7] Villages surrounding Mdoukha include Ain Arab, Al-Bireh, Al-Rafid, Bakka, Kfardenis, and Kherbet Rouha.[8]

Mdoukha has historically been a farming town. It is home to the K-6 Mdoukha Public Elementary School as well as a small park just outside the town.

On the nearby Mount Qsair, there are ruins.[citation needed]

No official census data is available, as is the case for the rest of the country, however locals and expatriates estimate Mdoukha's population to be approximately 3300 people, of which the majority lives in London, Ontario.[9][10]
