Baalbek

The city of Baalbek, located at the foot of the western south side of the Anti-Lebanon, is situated 85 km from Beirut. It is positioned at an altitude of 1150m, on the edge of the rich Bekaa Valley and the ancient Coelesyrie. This location between the two great civilized regions of antiquity, between the Nile and Euphrates, was highly strategic. The city thus found on a main artery for merchant caravans furrowing the routes between Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean.
