(1250m - 36 km from Beirut)

In Syriac, the word Falougha means "the divide" and this is due to the 2 winter rivers that pass through it.  One can acquire a full view of this lovely town from the main road that leads to the Beqaa Valley.  It is a traditional summer resort, where you can see a 19th century Serail and silk factories converted into hotels.
