The Lebanese mountains
are part from a mountain range extending along the coast of the Mediterranean
Sea from southern Lebanon into southern Syria. The highest peak in the
range, Qurnat as-Sawda', is 3,083 m (10,115 ft) above sea level. In ancient
times, the rocky slopes were covered with the famed cedars of Lebanon.
Few of them remains in some forests in the mountains.
These mountains include
many skiing tracks (faraya,laklouk) that make big attraction to the athletes
and amateurs from Lebanon and many arab countries in the Middle East.
