An-Naqoura (, Enn Nâqoura, Naqoura, An Nāqūrah) is a municipality in southern Lebanon. Since March 23, 1978, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has been headquartered in An-Naqoura.
==Etymology== According to E. H. Palmer (1881), the name means "the horn" or "the trumpet". This name rises from a misconception on the part of the Arab-speaking inhabitants, as the name, [..] Tyre means in Arabic a horn or trumpet; therefore Ras Sur (the headland or ladder of Tyre') is rendered by Nakura, the synonym for Sur. The word is also connected with [..] to peck or perforate."
