Bekaa Valley, Agricultural valley between Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountains, Lebanon
The Bekaa Valley extends 120 kilometers in length and 16 kilometers in width, forming Lebanon's most extensive farming region between two mountain ranges.
The valley functioned as a critical granary for Roman provinces in the Levant during the first century BC, supporting regional food production.
The population of Bekaa Valley includes multiple religious groups with Christians in Zahle, while other areas house Shiites, Sunnis, Druze, and Armenian communities.
The climate features cold winters with snow and warm summers, with northern sections receiving less rainfall than central areas of the valley.
Local wineries in the Bekaa Valley maintain an ancient tradition of wine production, generating over six million bottles each year under specific climate conditions.
