Matn is one of the most popular areas in Lebanon, with its rich scenery and its splendid view of the Mediterranean. Matn's population is almost entirely Christian, with some Druze in the region, mostly in Beit Mery, Brummana, Mtein and Zarooun.
The Matn district is also popularly known as Northern Matn District (قضاء المتن الشمالي, Qaḍāʾ al-Matn aš-Šamāliyy), not to be confused with Southern Matn (المتن الجنوبي, al-Matn al-Janūbī) or Uppermost Matn (المتن الأعلى, al-Matn al-ʾAʿlā), both parts of Baabda District.
