Ibl al-Saqi (إبل السقي) is a town in the Marjeyoun District in southern Lebanon.

History

In 1875, Victor Guérin found it to be a "considerable" village, with about 1000 inhabitants. 700 were "Schismatic Greek" and the rest were apparently Druze. At the north-west of the village there was an abundant stream.[1]
