Baalbek-Hermel Governorate, Administrative division in northern Lebanon.
The governorate spans 3,009 square kilometers across the northern Beqaa Valley, featuring mountainous terrains and agricultural plains bordered by Syria.
The region separated from Beqaa Governorate in 2003 through Law 522, establishing its administrative independence with Baalbek as its capital city.
The population includes Lebanese Shiite Muslims, Christians, and Sunni communities, along with Syrian and Palestinian refugees who contribute to regional diversity.
The governorate connects to major Lebanese cities through established road networks and serves as a primary agricultural center for grain production.
The territory encompasses 74 municipalities across two districts, Baalbek and Hermel, forming Lebanon's principal farming region in the Beqaa Valley.
