Beqaa Valley, Agricultural valley in eastern Lebanon

The Beqaa Valley extends 120 kilometers between Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountains, with a width of 16 kilometers on average.

The valley provided grain supplies for Roman provinces from the 1st century BC, with archaeological evidence of settlements dating back 9000 years.

Local inhabitants maintain traditional farming methods and operate numerous vineyards, producing wines through techniques passed down through generations.

The valley connects to Beirut through a network of roads, with Zahle serving as the administrative center for the Beqaa Governorate.

Two major rivers originate in the valley: the Orontes flowing north to Turkey and the Litani flowing south toward the Mediterranean Sea.
