North Governorate, Administrative division in northern Lebanon.
The North Governorate extends from Mediterranean beaches to mountains, covering 1,236 square kilometers with Tripoli as its administrative center.
The region underwent significant changes in 2003 when Akkar District separated from North Governorate, leading to the formation of a new administrative structure.
The population includes Sunni Muslims concentrated in Tripoli and Christians residing primarily in Zgharta, Batroun, Bsharri, and Koura districts.
The governorate contains six administrative districts: Batroun, Bsharri, Koura, Miniyeh-Danniyeh, Tripoli, and Zgharta, each with distinct characteristics.
The region houses the Cedars of God and Qadisha Valley, containing ancient cedar forests and religious structures dating back centuries.
