Aitat, or Aytat (Arabic: عيتات), is a town located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the town of Aley within the district of the same name in the Lebanese governorate of Mount Lebanon.

It was a strategic place during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), due to its view to Beirut.

[2] With its neighboring Christian town of Souk El-Gharb, this town remains one of the most memorable places in Lebanon for the Druze and the Christians as a reminder the fierce and deadly battles that occurred during the Lebanese Civil War.

Today Aitat and Souk El-Gharb are considered to be the symbol of unity and forgiveness.

[citation needed] The Abi Saab's, Timani's and Talhouq's, are the most well known families of Aitat and the Aley district.
