Dhour El Choueir (ar|ضهور الشوير), sometimes Dhour Shweir, is a mountain town in Lebanon ('dhour' meaning 'summit, top [of a mountain]') located in the Matn District. It lies slightly north of the main Beirut - Damascus highway, overlooking the city of Beirut and the Mediterranean sea, some 30 km from Beirut and 42 km from Beirut International Airport in Khalde. This mountain town is one of Mount Lebanon's favored summer resorts, known for its extraordinary fresh air and is also important for its August yearly carnival, honoring Lebanon's emigrants. It is linked to Beirut via the Matn Express Highway, also known as the M90 through Baabdat.
The inhabitants of Dhour El-Choueir are predominantly Christians, with half of the population being Greek Orthodox, while the other half is mostly Melkite and Maronite.
The town was on the front line during the Lebanese Civil War from 1975 to 1990.
