Mount Lebanon Governorate

The Lebanon Mountains shape much of Mount Lebanon Governorate, where terraced slopes, cooler uplands and coastal approaches have long supported agriculture, trade and summer tourism. Extending from the Mediterranean shore behind Beirut into highland districts such as Keserwan, Metn, Aley and Chouf, the governorate brings together densely settled suburbs and mountain communities. Jeita Grotto is among Lebanon’s best-known natural sites, while the 19th-century Beiteddine Palace in Chouf recalls the era of Emir Bashir Shihab II. Seasonal festivals, village restaurants and orchards remain part of the region’s social life. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Mount Lebanon Governorate.
