NDU Shouf Campus is housed within the premises of St. Abda Monastery in Deir El-Kamar. The monastery, a historic place, is being restored not to its former state but to a standard that would maintain its traditional and aesthetic appeal, (the campus is expected to accommodate a student population of 3000 or so students).

The visible benefits are everywhere in evidence. Today rows of oak and pine trees surround the campus. The grassy evergreen slopes are well preserved. Visitors can easily admire the scenic beauty of the place.

Beyond the University campus, the surrounding vicinity of Deir El- Kamar seems to be in harmony with the monastery premises. This historic city is located in the central area of the Shouf region. It is 35 Kms from Beirut, and is of just over 900 ms above sea level. In general the region enjoys a moderate climate except for the winter months when the temperature may drop to 7c or below.
