Baissour River (Naher Baissour, نهر بيصور) is home to many restaurants and resorts. Thousands of tourists visit Baissour every year, and along with the restaurants along the river, one of the biggest attractions is the Radar area. This beautiful, mountainous, tree covered picnic and recreational area is located at the highest point of Baissour and is accessible year round.

In 1838, Eli Smith noted the place, called Beisur, located in Aklim es-Sahhar, between el-Ghurb and el-Jurd.^[2]
