Qalaouiyah (ar| قلويه ) is a municipality in the Bint Jbeil District in southern Lebanon.
According to E. H. Palmer, the name Kalawei comes from the ancient Kelabo.[1]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Burj Alawei as: “A village, built of stone, on high ground, containing 150 Metawileh, surrounded by olives, fig-trees, and arable land. The water supply is from cisterns only."[2] They further noted: "Ancient remains and some lintels."[3]
In 2014 Muslims made up 99.41% of registered voters in Qalaouiyah. 98.22% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.[4]
