Miye ou Miye (Arabic: المية ومية) is a municipality in southern Lebanon located 5 km (3.2 mi) East of Sidon and 45 km (28 mi) south of the capital Beirut and it overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.

The village is bordered with a number of villages/towns: East: Qraiyeh, Ain El Delb; West: Sidon; North: Haret Saida; and South: Darb es Sim, Zaghdraiya.

The population of the town doubles when the immigrants / expatriates return to spend their summer vacations in their ancestral home.

In the 18th century, Christians started to move to the village, and the state encouraged the farmers by giving them land to farm.

Summer spans the months of June to September and is the most popular time to visit, with temperatures peaking in July and August.

[citation needed] Saint Georges Spring (Nabaat Mar Giryos) A shepherd from the village had several different dreams during a period of time.

Always in these dreams, a knight (ref: rider, Saint George) was riding a white horse, while the shepherd was herding his sheep.

In each dream, the knight told the shepherd to tell the mayor and the priest of the village to dig in this particular spot (33°32′45.00″N 35°23′16.98″E / 33.5458333°N 35.3880500°E / 33.5458333; 35.3880500) and your town will have a natural water spring.

And the rider added, in case the people in town did not believe you; take this olive branch with fruits on it as a proof.

St. Georges Natural Spring became a holy place and is called in Arabic “Nabaat Mar Giryos".

But since he was in need of funds to build it, he traveled to Ramapo, New York, and secured donations from the local Christian community.

The word Ramapo (Ramapough), is from Native American origin, meaning either "sweet water" or "sloping/slanting rocks".

The French authorities responded by arresting and imprisoning key Lebanese leaders at Ramapo hall.

Lebanese Christian and Muslim leaders united their forces, supported by the international community and regional powers, to pressure the French government which resulted in releasing the prisoners on November 22, 1943 and recognizing Lebanon's full and complete independence.
