(1100 m -  23 km from Beirut) 

Before the war of 1975, Bhamdoun was one of Lebanon's most renown and  favorite summer resorts.  Today, the town is gradually regaining its past glory as most of its hotels, restaurants and entertainment centers have been renovated.  Tourists, and especially from the Gulf region who once knew Bhamdoun are coming back to spend their summer vacation there.
