South Lebanon is the
region extending from the Awali river in the North to Ras El
Nakoura in the South and from the Mediterranean sea in the west to
the Syro-Lebanese borders in the East.
Towns and villages of the mountain area lie at an altitude of 800
to 1500m. In Mount Niha are the most famous summer resorts
of South Lebanon: Jezzine, Kfarhouna, Roum, Aramta, Bkassine, Jbaa,
Jarjou and Arab Salim.
East of the coastal plains, rise the hills which form the largest
part of South Lebanon. Their altitude steadily increases to
reach 1000m. They are watered by the Qasmieh River (Litani)
and covered with olive, apple, almond, pine and oak trees.
