Lebanon

Built around ancient Phoenician port cities and Mediterranean trade, Lebanon developed into a republic on the eastern Mediterranean. The Lebanon Mountains rise close behind the coast, while the Litani River crosses the south and the Beqaa Valley lies between the country’s principal mountain ranges. Beirut remains its largest city and cultural centre, marked by a long tradition of publishing, music and cuisine. At Baalbek, monumental Roman temple ruins stand in the Beqaa; Byblos is among the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities.
