The Coastal strip, the central plateau, eastern Lebanon and western Lebanon are four such strips. While the coastal strip comprises of sahil, as it is locally called .The central plateau comprises of the very important Biqa valley while eastern Lebanon is the home of the Anti-Lebanon Range of mountains. Western Lebanon is famous for the Lebanon Mountains, highest mountain range in Lebanon and one of the most inhospitable terrains. The country of Lebanon is distinctly divided into five broad divisions namely Mount Lebanon, Anti Lebanon, Beqaa Valley, the Coastal plains and the shoreline. Several streams and rivers flow through Lebanon but none of them are fit for navigation. Most of these water bodies have their source in springs located high above in the mountains. These rivers come down with great speed and the resulting momentum erodes away the surface of rocks. The Litani and the Orontes River are the two major rivers of Lebanon. These two rivers have several tributaries and distributaries. Buhayrat al Qirawn is the one lake which has water throughout the year while the other lake near Yammunah is a seasonal one and depends on rainfall for its water supply.

It is in the Middle East. To its east lies Syria. To its south lies Israel. To its west lies the Mediterranean Sea. The Middle East can be a very hot and dry place. Parts of Lebanon are no different. But Lebanon is considered a special country in the Middle East for good reasons. Lebanon has a culture that isn't like its neighbors. Its geography, too, is something unique. Lebanon is a very old country. People have been living in Lebanon for thousands of years. In fact, Lebanon's first people arrived there 12,000 years ago! People called Phoenicians started arriving in Lebanon in 10,000 BC. These people created some of the world's first cities. Since then, other people have been drawn to Lebanon's geography.
