Dora (Arabic: الدورة, romanized: ad-Dawrah) also spelled Doura or Daura, is a suburb north-east of Beirut in the Matn District of Mount Lebanon Governorate.
Foreign laborers, especially Egyptians, Iraqis and Sri Lankans also live in Dora due to the lower-cost rents available.
The center also hosts Cinema City, a nine-screen multiplex of 1,789 seats arranged around a central sky-lit atrium.

Dora is a major transport hub for buses, minibuses and service taxis to destinations north of Beirut.
