Zahrani River (Arabic: نهر زهراني‎) is a river in Southern Lebanon. It is located south of Sidon.[1] Zahrani (زهراني) is the adjective form of the noun Zahran (زهران), which means flowering or blossoming in Arabic. This river irrigates most of Jabal Rihane and Nabatiyeh. It is considered one of the most important rivers of the Jabal Rihane area.[2] It is located above the Litani River.[3][4]
