Temnin el-Foka (Arabic: تمنين الفوقا) is a village located approximately 28 kilometers southwest of Baalbek in the Baalbek District, in the Beqaa valley of Lebanon, at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level. The village is famous for its Roman nymphaeum[1] which is close to the spring of Ain el-Jobb.
Temnin was settled since Roman times, but the original name is unknown. The town is divided into two municipalities, the other being Temnine Et Tahta.
Ottoman tax registers from 1533–1548 indicate the village had 64 households and 11 bachelors, and one Imam, all Muslims.
In 1838, Eli Smith noted Temnin el-Foka's (or "Temnin the upper") population as being predominantly Metawileh.
Bædeker does not mention Temnin el-Foka but he does note Temnîn et-Tahta:
"In the valley of Temnîn et-Tahta, at the E. base of Lebanon, there are about 200 rock-tombs in the Phoenician style."
