Zaarour (Arabic: زعرور ; Syriac: ܥܙܪܪܬܐ ) is a ski resort on the eastern slopes of Mount Sannine in the Matn District of Mount Lebanon Governorate, only 35 km from Beirut.[1] The resort lies north of the mountain village of Mrouj. The name is the Arabic word for hawthorn, which in itself is a corruption of a Syriac word.

The highest elevation difference at the resort is 355 m.[2] The resort introduced Handiski (a portmanteau of "handicap" and "ski") which provides specialist adaptive skiing to assist people with a disability or restricted mobility the opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of skiing.[3]
