Southern Lebanon extends from the Mediterranean coast inland toward mountain ranges, featuring fertile valleys intersected by the Litani River. The region contains plains and hillsides where farming and rural settlements shape the landscape.
The region hosted Phoenician settlements and Roman cities, with archaeological remains visible in the ancient ports of Sidon and Tyre. These sites show the area's importance as a trade hub throughout the ages.
