(40 km
from Beirut)
Deir El Qamar was the residence of the Lebanese governors till the
end of the 18th century. A walk around the town gives you a sence of history
as you observe the traditional
Lebanese stone houses with their red roofs.
In the main square, you can see the Mosque of Fakhreddine who
founded Deir El Qamar and made it the capital city of Lebanon. That is considered one of the great
treasures in the town.
Also it's worth visiting the Bat Palace, Al Kharge Palace and the Seraglio of Emir
Melhem Chehab, governor of Lebanon.
