Lebanon Mountain

Mount Lebanon is a mountain range that runs along to the Mediterranean coast for around 170 kilometers (110 miles). Qurnat as Sawda', at 3,088 meters, is their highest mountain (10,131 ft). The range receives a lot of precipitation, including snow, which is usually approximately 4 meters (13 feet) deep.

Lebanon has always been distinguished by its mountains, which have served as a source of security for the indigenous inhabitants. Changes in landscape in Lebanon are connected to elevations rather than geographical distances. The oak and pine forests on the highlands were well-known. On the top slopes of Mount Lebanon, in the Cedars of God World Heritage Site, the last remaining old-growth groves of the famed Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani var. libanii) may be found.

The Phoenicians built their ship fleet and traded with their neighbors using the woods of Mount Lebanon. The Phoenicians and their successive rulers regularly replanted and refilled the range, which had a sizable wooded area even as late as the 16th century.

Mount Lebanon gets its name from the Semitic root LBN, which means "white," most likely referring to the snow-capped peaks.

The Mount Lebanon area is a haven for outdoor adventurers. This area has a rocky, harsh environment that is ideal for a range of outdoor sports and adventure activities, with high, snow-capped mountains spanning north to south across the country's midsection. The foothills of the mountain range drop down to the bright Mediterranean shore on the west side. The broad, fertile Bekaa Valley runs to the east. Skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, and other winter and outdoor adventure activities are all available at the summits of Mount Lebanon.
