About Lebanon
Lebanon is a small country in the Middle East, bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south. Beirut serves as its capital and largest city. The country is notable for its diversity of religions and cultures, as well as a layered history spanning Phoenician origins, Ottoman rule, and a French mandate period. Its landscape is shaped by a narrow coastal plain, the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges, and the fertile Bekaa Valley.
