Some researchers relate A'aidamoun’s name to the Egyptian god Ammoun, while others argue that it means “the festival of gold, money, and wealth.” The town is home to a cave from which flows Ja’alouk River. At the cave is an ancient temple over which was built Maqam Al-Rab sanctuary.

The name Al-Bireh is derived from the Aramaic-Syriac language, meaning “wells.” The town is home to a historical citadel with three towers; according to experts, the structure was built over the ruins of an older citadel. In 2001, an ancient Roman fountain was discovered in the village. The religious vestiges include Al-Bireh mosque (established in 1818 A.D.), Sheikh Ismail shrine, Sheikh Mohammad shrine, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Rasas shrine, and Sheikh Abdul Hadi shrine.

A'arqa’s name originates from the Aramaic language, meaning “wood and construction bridges.” However, in the spoken Arabic language, the word “A'arqa” means “the doorstep.” The town is home to an artificial hill or tell, with many layers representing the accumulation of residential structures since the Stone Age. A'arqa played an important role in the history of the area, and its name is found frequently in various old scripts. During the Roman era, A'arqa was called “Caesarism of Lebanon” and was famous for being the birthplace of the Roman Emperor Al-Iskandar Saoryos. In addition to its ancient tell, A'arqa is famous for its historical bridge and citadel. The town also includes the Al-Saydeh Orthodox Sanctuary and the Sheikh Badr shrine for Muslim Sunni.

Haizouq’s name is derived from the Aramaic-Syriac language, meaning “the traveler and the absent” or “the observation and control tower.” Haizouq is characterized by a unique religious heritage, and many visitors come there to receive a blessing, as the town was once a center for Hashemite descendents of the Prophet.Among the town’s interesting sites is a large rock overlooking the town, with a hole in its middle called “Chir Al-Ahmar.” This hole has not been explored yet due to the large number of bees living inside. Village residents come to the hole’s entryway to hear the strong sound of the bees inside. In the middle of the village stands a large rock elevated to around 7m high, with three sarcophagi carved inside of it, one on top of the other.

However, other researchers report that Al-Daghli is an Arabic word derived from “Al-Daghli,” meaning “bushes.” Among the vestiges found in town are the shrine of Wali Allah Mohammad Al-A’ajami, Sheikh Moussa shrine, and Sheikh Sultan shrine.

Akroum derives its name from the old Semitic word meaning “the barren area.” Mount Akroum includes an old heritage site, and in the area of Al-Khrayeb stands the base of a huge ancient temple, as well as water reservoirs, stones, underground rooms, and huge sculpted stones.In Wadi Al-Sabea’a (“Al-Sabea’a Valley”) in Akroum are found two ancient rock engravings that were plundered. Facing these two engravings is a hole carved into the rocks, which served as an old cemetery. Directly in front of this hole is a pit of 15 meters depth, with a sculpted rock at its entrance and with rock-carved sarcophagi inside. The villages in the region of Mount Akroum have several caves and cemeteries, the most important of which is Akroum Cave, considered to be Akkar’s most important geological discovery and located in an area known as “Ajlat Al-Nabi Bri,” where Al-Nabi Bri shrine is located.Among the Christian-era vestiges are the remains of a Syrian church. Both Christians and Muslims once resided in this area before the Mamlukes took over at the end of the 13th century, which resulted in a uniform Muslim Sunni society.

The town of Al-Qoubayat derives its name from the Syriac word meaning “cisterns and swamps.” Its residents are distributed over six areas: Zouk, Al-Dahr, Hai Ghouya, Martamoura, Al-Qoubayat Al-Gharbiyya (Western Al-Qoubayat), and Hayy Al-Qatlabeh. Al-Qoubayat used to be famous for silk production; however, only two vestiges are left from that period – an old silk workshop and the Al-Dahr residence, whose gate is decorated by inscriptions including two lions that may derived from a royal emblem. Nearby the silk plant stands a school and church dedicated to Mar Gerges (Saint Georges) and built in the Italian style.Al-Qoubayat is home to a number of archaeological vestiges, such as the Saydet Al-Ghisseleh Cathedral, the Forty Martyrs Church, the Mar Challita Monastery (dating back to the Roman era), the Saydet Chahlo Church, the remains of an old church and an old palace, as well as several caves, tombs, and sarcophagi carved into rocks. A little further from the village stands an old church built with the stones of an ancient Roman temple. This church was recently renovated.

There are several sources for the origin of Halba’s name. Some researchers relate the name to the Syriac word meaning “milk,” while others relate it to the Aramaic word meaning “fat and fertile.” Moreover, some researchers trace the name back to Roman origins, since it was a center inhabited by the nobles of the historical city of A’arqa during this era. In addition, Halba was also known as “Machta Al-Bacha,” because the Bacha used to move from the town of Al-Borj and settle there during the winter season.The town is home to Halba Citadel, dating back to the Roman period, and Halba Serail, built in 1891 after the center of the Akkar Caza was transferred from the town of Al-Borj to Halba. However, this serail was demolished by an official decree in 1999. Some of the important remains in Halba are several inns, including Khan Al-Aghawat and Khan Tell Al-Hayat (also known as “Khan Al-Roumoul” because of its close proximity to a sandy beach).

Rahbeh’s name is derived from the Semitic language, meaning “wideness and delight.” One of the popular summer resorts in the Akkar region, Rahbeh is characterized by its abundance of water springs that are said to equal the number of days in a year. The town is home to a number of vestiges dating back to various eras, including some old caves near a place known as “Hanna’s mill,” the remains of a Roman canal, as well as Saints Sergios and Bakhos heritage church, dating back to the early 4th century and known as Al-A’ajam Church or Al-Ghouraba’ Church (“The Strangers’ Church”). In addition, four old water-run mills are still standing in the village.

Qlaya’at derives its name from the historical citadels located here, which used to constitute one of Tripoli’s defense centers. Some of these multi-style towers and walls can still be seen today. The town is home to a military airport known as President Renee Mouawad Airport, in addition to Sheikh Merhi shrine and Sheikh Sabea’a shrine. One of the main characteristics of the village is its Sufi sheikhs’ festivals or “Mawaled.”

The name Berqayel originates from the old Semitic language, meaning “God’s light.” The town was given this name either as a good omen, or because it was the location of a ruined temple. Berqayel is home to several ancient vestiges, including large processed stones and sarcophagi carved into rocks, as well as some more recent vestiges, such as the old Serail dating from the 17th century, when Berqayel was the center for Akkar Rulers. In addition, several religious shrines are found in town, including Sheikh Omar Al-Omari shrine, Wali Allah Sheikh Moussa shrine, Sheikh Abdel Wahhab shrine and Sheikh Zarzour shrine.

This town was originally known as “Dahr Hadara,” and its name was later changed to “Zouk Hadara” and “Dahr Hadara.” It is known today by either name. The word “Hadara” is related to the name of a family that inhabited the area, and the town was named in reference to this family. Zouk Hadara is home to very important historical monuments, the vestiges of A’arqa.

Some researchers argue that the word Minyara is a derivation of “Manara,” and that the town derived its name from its location on a hill overlooking the plain of Akkar. Other researchers argue that the origin of the name is related to a cave used by farmers to hide their “Niara” (“yokes”), which is the plural of the word “Nayr” (“yoke”).

The word Akkar means “the barrier,” and the town was named “Akkar Al-A'atiqa” to differentiate it from the name of its caza, Akkar. The town was once an important political site, as it used to be the center of Saifa family rule during the days of Emir Fakhreddine Al-Ma’ani Al Thani. Among the town’s monuments is the Akkar Citadel, elevated on a rocky mount about a one hour walk from Akkar Al-A'atiqa. This citadel was built during the end of the 10th century A.D. and is named for its founder, Mohrez Bin Akkar. Akkar Al-A'atiqa is also home to a number of sarcophagi and Phoenician and Assyrian tombs, the remains of an old mosque, the Al-Saqa’a Suleiman shrine, in addition to a number of inns and water mills. Akkar Al-A'atiqa covers around 1 percent of the area of Lebanon and includes the region of Al-Qammoua’ah, which contains several rare trees such as the fir tree. The town is also characterized by an abundance of water and nice weather due to its surrounding pine forest. In addition, it is known for producing several artisanal products, such as old plows, carved basins, and straw platters and spinning wheels.

The town of Sheikh Taba derives its name from the Syriac word meaning “the good and virtuous.” Local tradition says that an old, sick man was healed when he resided in the village, so the story spread that the Sheikh “Tab” (“was healed”), and this phrase was later modified to “Sheikh Taba.” The town is home to Mar Elias Al-Ghayyour Orthodox Church and Saint John the Baptist Sanctuary, located at the western side of the village.

The name Kouba is derived from the Aramaic language, meaning “the cup or goblet.” The town is home to ancient cemeteries engraved into rocks and caves inhabited by prehistoric man. The remains of Stone Age tools, such as awls, knives, javelins, and stone axes, were found in these caves and are now on display at the Museum of Université Saint Joseph in Beirut. In addition, one of these caves has been transformed into a sanctuary for Saint John the Baptist.Among the more recent vestiges in the town are a Crusader era church and the Monastery of Saint Sauveur (the Savior). The Mar Ya’acoub (Saint Jacob) Church was built over a pagan temple, but the only remains of this church today are sections of a Crusader wall on its western side.

The town of Bajdarfel derives its name from the Aramaic language, meaning “the place of the fissured wall.” Bajdarfel is home to several archaeological remains, including Al-Madarat Cave to the west of the town. This cave is composed of numerous rocky holes feeding into to a long tunnel. Nearby are remains of an old structure and press stones. The town also includes vestiges of Phoenician sarcophagi. The religious monuments of Bajdarfel include Mar Pandalaymon Church (built around 1763), dedicated to the patron saint of the village, who is believed to help women who are trying to conceive. Near this church stands a large statue for Mar Pandalaymon. Other old churches in the town include the Church of Mar Nohra (1890) and the Church of Mar Antonios (Saint Anthony) Al-Bedwani (1911). In 2001, a large statue of Our Lady of Bajderfel was erected in the town square.Since 2001, an annual summer festival is held in the village square, attracting many youth from around the area.

Wajh Al-Hajar is situated at the southern part of Ras Al-Chaqa’a and overlooks the town of Sela’ata and the sea. The town derives its name from the Phoenician language, meaning “god’s face.” However, after the Christianization of the country, the town’s residents changed its name to “stone’s face” to show their contempt for idol worship.Wajh Al-Hajar is home to several old monuments, including the remains of a citadel and stone sarcophagi carved into rocks, in addition to the Church of Mar Estephan (Saint Stephan), dating from the mid-19th century, with a beautiful iconostas carved into wood.

Hamat is situated at Ras Al-Chaqa’a in the area of Qoueita’a. It derives its name from the Phoenician language, meaning “fever.” Hamat is home to various Christian vestiges, including Saydet (Our Lady) Al-Nouriyyeh Monastery, first built at the edge of the mountain in 300 A.D. and then moved to the top of the mountain in 1880. The monastery is a pilgrimage site for believers from all religions, from throughout Lebanon and the neighboring areas. The town is also home to Mar Elias Monastery, which has been renovated and was built over the ruins of a pagan temple, in addition to Mar Gerges (Saint Georges) Monastery, which has beautiful colored paintings depicting Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary.Among Hamat’s archaeological remains is Al-Mseilha Citadel, located on the northern bank of the Al-Jawz River, and which can be seen from the Beirut-Tripoli highway. In the area of Hnouch (Old Jigurta) are found some old wells, sarcophagi, and stone presses that were destroyed in an earthquake in 551 A.D. In the area of Bwab Al-Hawa stands a historical statue dating to 1943, established by the British forces to commemorate building the road that links the town to the coast in only 100 days.

The name Bcha’aleh is derived from the Semitic language, meaning “the high distinguished place.” Bcha’aleh is surrounded by a forest of oak and egylops trees, and it is known for its old olive trees, some dating back to 4000 B.C., which are still fruitful today. It has several springs, the most important of which are Maytouba spring, Ain Al-Fawqa, and Ain Al-Tahta. Bcha’aleh is home to many old churches, including: Mar Estephan (Saint Stephan) Church, dating to 1880 and built from solid limestone extracted from the village; Saydet (Our Lady) Al-Blata Church (built around 1600); Mar Mama; Mar Saba; Mar Touma (Saint Thomas); Mar Sarkis and Bakhos, which are old monasteries of an unknown date; and Mar Doumit Monastery, which was built with stones carrying Greek inscriptions and which was largely demolished (only the church is still standing). Bcha’aleh is also home to a rock-carved hermitage called Al-Habis, some old sarcophagi, and Al-Hosn Citadel, located at the northeastern part of the town and dating back to the Phoenician era. The town also includes the workshop of sculptor Amine Rizk, known for his religious sculptures and other Bcha’aleh limestone sculptures.

The town’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning “the guardian of Jbeil.” Smar Jbeil is home to the structure of Al-Madina Al-Kashfiyya (“the Scout City”), the only city of its kind in Lebanon, established in 1974, and part of which has been transformed into a military barrack. Among the most important vestiges in the town is the Citadel of Smar Jbeil, dating back to the Phoenician times. The citadel was later occupied by the Romans, who left various inscriptions on its northern wall, followed by the Crusaders, who built cellars next to its towers and a church to the east of the citadel. The citadel is also characterized by its wells carved into rocks and its deep tunnels.Smar Jbeil is also home to several historical churches. These include: Al-Zwar Church, located next to the citadel and dating from the early Christian era; Al-Saydeh (Our Lady) Church, built before the Crusader era; and Mar Nohra Church, established during the early Christian era and with Syriac inscriptions on its eastern wall. Above the entrance of this church lies a sculpture of eleven stone rings in a cross shape, out of which hangs a vessel. In the village of Smar Jbeil stand two ancient pillars, between which an old cemetery has been discovered.

Rachana’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning “the small peak.” In the middle of the 20th century, Rachana’s name gained significance in the field of arts when the Basbous brothers (Michel, Alfred, and Youssef) spread their sculptures all over the town, transforming it into an open air museum. This talent was passed on to the second generation of Basbous family, who preserved the family’s art school.In 1994, the brothers Alfred and Youssef Basbous hosted the “International Sculptor Atelier” in Rachana, through which a number of international sculptors of different nationalities left their works in the village. This event still takes place during the month of August of each year, and new sculptures are added every year alongside the sculptures of the Basbous family. As a result of this active sculpture project, Rachana has been named the “International Capital of Sculpture in Open Air” by UNESCO.

Some researchers argue that Ras Nhash derives its name from the Syriac word meaning “copper,” while others relate it to the Aramaic word meaning “charming and distinguished.” Next to the town are located some old natural caves that were once used as hermitages. In the middle of the town stands a tower dating back to the Arab era, with tiger paintings near its entrance, in addition to an old mosque that may have been built during the same period.

The town was originally named “Kfour Al-Arabi,” in reference to its being the residence of many old generations. The name was then modified according to the accent of the local population to Kfour Al-Arabi. Others consider the town’s name to be derived from its Al-Arabi “Carriage” shape. Roman monetary pieces engraved with the head of the Emperor Constantine were found in the town, in addition to a historical fountain, an old Byzantine church, and sarcophagi and old cemeteries on the mountainside. The town is also home to the Church of Saydet Al-Qala’a Al-Aja’ibiyyeh, built in an elevated place between the suburbs of Hardine and Al-Kfour. The church’s structure is an old temple inside a cave, part of which is natural and part of which was sculpted by hand. The church is surrounded by old ruins.

The name of Hardine is derived from the Syriac language, meaning “the scared people,” referring to people who fear and respect God. The town has also been known as “the Village of Faith and Religion,” “the Village of the 30 Monasteries and Churches,” “the First Village to Know Christianity in Mount Lebanon,” and “the First to be Mentioned among the Villages.” Hardine is rich with monuments. Around 50 sarcophagi engraved into rocks were found in the town. Moreover, in the midst of Hardine appears the famous and unique “Blata,” a rocky plain cut at its middle by the highway, which used to be part of a large Roman temple. In the valleys of Hardine are various caves that were transformed during the Phoenician and Christian eras into hermitages named after martyrs and saints. Hardine is also home to the remains of the temple of the God Mercurios, dating to the Roman era and known as “the Roman Place of Hardine.” Roman inscriptions carved into rocks have been discovered in the town, and a large pagan temple, known as “Rocks’ Temples” was found in the area of Musailaha. In the area of Al-Chmeiss stands the remains of an ancient temple and stone statues of a Phoenician god. Important religious heritage sites in Hardine include: Saydet Al-Qala’a Hermitage, built in a cavity inside the Mount of Hardine; Mar Takla Church in Haret Kassab; Mar Estephan Monastery and Hermitage; and Mar Gerges and Adna Church, characterized by its two altars, one Maronite and one Syriac. The town is also home to Mar Tadros (Saint Theodore) Church, considered among the oldest churches built according to the early Maronite style; the churches of Mar Challita, Mar Nohra, and Mar Elias, all engraved into rocks; Mar Fawqa Al-Syriani Monastery and Church; Mar Youhanna Al-Shqif Monastery, established during the Crusader era by Latin monks; and the

Al-Batroun’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, from the root word “bater,” which means “cut,” in reference to the Al-Batroun maritime wall which was cut into rocks. The town is home to archaeological vestiges from several consecutive eras through history.In the districts of old Al-Batroun stands a Phoenician citadel (9th century B.C.), which was demolished by an earthquake on the 9th of July 551 B.C. and later restored by the residents to look as it does today. In the area of Mrah Al-Sheikh are the remains of a Roman amphitheater, where only 11 steps are still apparent. In the southern part of the city are found several Roman tombs and sarcophagi, and the coast hosts an ancient, natural port that is still used as harbor for fishing boats. Al-Batroun’s religious sites include Mar Estephan Maronite Cathedral, considered to be one of Lebanon’s largest churches. This cathedral was built over the remains of an old Crusader church and is characterized by an architectural style combining Byzantine and Roman influences. The town is also home to Mar Gerges Orthodox Church, built in the Byzantine style with a unique dome, and the 19th century Church of Saydet Al-Bahr, built over the ruins of a Phoenician temple and containing four icons painted with gold.

Several of Al-Batroun’s old streets constitute the souq, which was built with sandstone from the surrounding area. Old handicrafts are still made in this souk, such as sewing, shoemaking, and smithery. There are several tourism resorts in Al-Batroun, as well as rocky and sandy beaches within maritime resorts. Lately, several modern night clubs have been opened inside old arcaded structures and old houses. Al-Batroun is also famous for its lemonade, as it is surrounded by many citrus fields.

Douma’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning “The quiet, peaceful and restful.” This red-roofed town, which stands at the head of a long fertile valley known as Kfar Hilda and Bassateen Al-A’assi, is proud of its ancient remnants. In the town square sits a 4th century A.D. sarcophagus, bearing a Greek inscription recording that this was the burial place of Castor, who died in 317 A.D. Castor was a priest of the two gods Hygeia and Asklepios, who were Greek gods of health and healing. Other ancient remains in Douma are set into the walls of the Churches of Mar Doumit and Mar Challita. On the post office lawn nearby are some millstones and oil presses, probably from the late Roman or Byzantine times. Near the roadside just above the town is the ancient Church of Mar Nohra, built into the rock. The church yard is shaded with a Mediterranean oak, and this beautiful spot is a pleasant place for a picnic (stone picnic tables are provided).

The name Tannourine is the plural of Tannour, derived from the Syriac language, meaning “bread stoves.” Other researchers believe that the word Tannourine originally referred to “enlightened.” The village of Tannourine lies in a splendidly beautiful area near the mountain of Tannourine. The village also shares its name with a cedar forest of some 60,000 trees distributed on an approximately 600 hectare piece of land. This forest, which lies at an altitude ranging from 1,200 and 1,850 meters, was been classified as a nature reserve in February 1999. The Tannourine cedars can be seen along the road that goes north to Hadath Al-Jibbeh, in the direction of Bcharre, the Qadisha Valley, and the Cedars of Arz Ar-Rab.The Tannourine area is known for its large sinkhole known as Bala’a. A 300-meter walk brings you to this dizzying open cavern some 255 meters deep. Three natural bridges – the middle one is the most spectacular – complete the scene. If you visit the area in springtime, you can see an impressive waterfall some 90 meters high. A river disappears into the cave, never to be seen again, hence its name Bala’a or “drain.” Besides the sinkhole, the surrounding hills invite exploration. This is a pleasant place for a picnic as well.In and around Tannourine village are numerous scattered remnants from pre-Roman, Roman, and Byzantine times. The Crusader Church of Mar Challita is further evidence of the village’s long history, and even today the saint is honored in an annual feast on August 20.

The town's name derives from the Syria language, meaning "the doctor." The archeological sites in Assia include Saint Gerges Church (1846), remains of Saint Assia monastery that is built over Roman ruins, as well as the remains of Mar Saba Maronite monastery. At the southern outskirts of the village, Saydet Al-Qala'a Church stands on a hill surrounded by sarcophagi carved into rocks, in addition to olive and grape rock presses. During the summer of 2002, a 4.05 meter-high statue of the Virgin Mary was built near the Al-Saydeh Church. Recent discoveries have unearthed other sarcophagi on the west side of Mar Gerges Church.Assia's good quality soil has also helped to distinguish its pottery handicrafts trade.

The name of Beqa’a Kafra is derived from the Syriac language, meaning “the plain over which stands the village.” The town, which is the highest in Lebanon, overlooks the Qadisha Valley and is characterized by its traditional Lebanese houses and districts. In addition, Beqa’a Kafra is famous for being the hometown of the Lebanese Saint Charbel, born in 1828, whose feast is celebrated annually on the 3rd Sunday of the month of July, when the Lebanese Monastic order keeps his house open for visitors. Among the town’s vestiges is an old church standing next to a well that never dries, indicating that Beqa’a Kafra was established by the Maronite Christians during the Mukaddimin era.

Bcharre’s name originates from the old Semitic word meaning “the place of water flow.” The history of Bcharre dates back to the Canaanite-Phoenician eras as indicated by its archaeological remains. Among those remains is the 10m high stone pyramid in Qamou’h Bcharre, with sarcophagi at its bottom. The Mar Sarkis Monastery, built over the remains of a Phoenician temple, contains the tomb and museum of the Lebanese philosopher and poet Jibran Khalil Jibran. Bcharre is home to a rock-carved temple, which was transformed into a shrine for Saydet Al-Durr, the patron saint of impotent women. Other old vestiges include a number of churches, monasteries, and hermits’ caves in the Qadisha Valley or “Holy Valley.”

The origin of the town’s name is Syriac-Aramaic, meaning “the new.” However, according to village tradition, the name means “one of six.” The town’s inner districts still preserve its traditional Lebanese houses, narrow alleys, and old churches. Hadchit is also home to several historical churches and Syriac monasteries. On the steep slopes of the Qadisha Valley stand two old monasteries, Al-Saleeb Monastery and Saint Shmouna Monastery, both dating back to the Crusader era. Until a few years ago, the walls of the Mar Shmouna Church were covered by great paintings dating from the 13th century, but the paintings were removed because of negligence. The walls of Al-Saleeb Monastery are still covered by magnificent Byzantine paintings dating back to the 12th to 14th centuries.

The name of Qannoubine is derived from the Syriac language, meaning “the monastery of beginning monks” or “the group or residents.” Deir Qannoubine was the seat of the Maronite Patriarchate from the 15th to the mid-19th century, before the seat was transferred to Al-Diman. The valley includes numerous caves, sanctuaries, hermitages, churches, and monasteries. Among the caves here is Al-A’assi-Hadath cave, where naturally embalmed bodies were found, in addition to pottery remains and coins from the 13th century. The church of Saydet Qannoubine Monastery, established in a rocky pit, is decorated with beautiful wall paintings. The eastern prayer niche of the church is covered by a wall painting representing Jesus Christ between the Virgin Mary and Saint Stephan. On either side of this painting are two small lanterns, one of which is decorated with a picture of Saint Joseph holding Jesus in one hand and a saw in the other, and the other decorated with a picture of Saint Daniel in a black dress. The northern wall of the church is decorated with a wall painting representing the Trinity crowning the Virgin Mary, while a number of Maronite Patriarchs watch the ceremony.At the entry of the church is a tunnel where one of the Maronite Patriarchs is buried, after being naturally embalmed due to the dryness of the area. Next to the church stands the sanctuary of Saint Marina, where the bodies of 18 Maronite Patriarchs are exposed.

The origin the name Baza’oun is Syriac, meaning “the small outlet.” Baza’oun is home to several sarcophagi and ancient caves, in addition to stones from demolished structures dating back to before the Middle Ages. The town is typically crowded with residents during the summer season, whereas it is almost empty during the winter. In the winter, most of its residents move to the Dahr Al-Ain area in Koura, where they have a district in their name called “the District of Al-Baza’ina.”

The name of Qnat has two meanings: “property and ownership” or “cane and handle.” The name might also mean “panic and terror.” Qnat is home to many old vestiges, including the Qasr Al-Malkeh, or “Queen’s Palace”; the Mar Shina Church, which was constructed from a tower built over 500 years ago; and the Al-Saydeh Church, established in 1870. Qnat is famous for its many parks and springs, such as the abundant Mar Challita spring; its walnut and sycamore wood with apple gardens and summer coffee shops; as well as the Al-Nabi’i cave, which resembles the Jeita and Qadisha caves.

Tourza’s name originates from the Phoenician word “Tur Arza,” meaning “the cedars’ mountain.” Among the town most important vestiges is the Al-Sabea’a cave, which contains seven sarcophagi carved into rocks. At the entrance of the cave are sculptures of a tiger and a phoenix bird. According to some archeologists, Tourza was an old kingdom, and the seven tombs’ cave constituted the center of this kingdom. Another notable cave in the area is the Al-Dalmaz cave, meaning “the pendent fortress,” located in a rocky mountain at about 155 meters elevation. The cave is a huge natural fissure, and the central passage opens into rooms along both sides. Above the cave is a large rocky basin to accumulate rain water, and at the bottom of the basin is a hole with a long tube that connects to the inside of the cave. The importance of this cave lies in its strategic location, as it overlooks the remaining part of the old caravan road that once linked the Tripoli coast to Mount Lebanon, Beqa’a, and Damascus.

The town of Amioun derives its name from the Aramaic language, meaning “the place of the Greeks.” Amioun is located on the top of an ancient hill dating back to before the 2nd decade B.C., and the town was called “Amia’’ during this period.Amioun is home to several old vestiges, among which are the Saint Georges Church, built over the ruins of a Roman temple, and the Mar Fawqa Church, with Byzantine paintings dating from the 12th to 14th centuries. The old Saint John Church was built on a rocky plateau overlooking the town, and close to this church are a number of caves carved into rocks that were used as cemeteries and date back to the Roman and Byzantine period. Other historical churches include: Saint Focas Church, distinguished by its Byzantine drawings; Mar Sarkis Monastery; Mar Sema’an (Saint Simon) Al-Amoudi Church; Mar Ghala Church; and Saint Barbara Church, established during the 17th century. Near to the town’s Serail stands an old cemetery transformed during the Middle Ages into a sanctuary for Saint Marina. Remains of a Roman temple, “Jib Louqa,” can also be found in Amioun.

The town of Kousba derives its name from the Syriac word meaning “silver and money.” Kousba is home to an old structure known as Al-Nawous Palace, as well as vestiges of old churches and monasteries, indicating that the town was inhabited by Christians before the 11th century. Among the notable monasteries in Kousba is the Monastery of Saydet Hamatoura, located in a rocky area facing Kousba across the valley. The monastery was established in the 10th century over the ruins of a pagan temple. The road to Saydet Hamatoura is a holy road, traveled by pious believers. In a nearby cave, believers hang their personal belongings on a tall, calcified structure, praying that it will aid in fertility. In addition, Kousba is home to the Saint Dimitrios and Nicolaos Monastery, which contains a mihrab (prayer niche) decorated with a lovely, Byzantine-style wall fresco that was very common during the 12th and 13th centuries.

Some researchers relate the name Kfar Hazir to the Phoenician god “Ouzir” or “Ouziris” (which is the God Adonis). Therefore, the meaning of the name would be “under the protection of the God Ouzir.” Kfar Hazir has several caves and cemeteries dating back to the Roman era, as well as numerous sarcophagi. In addition, Kfar Hazir is home to the Saint Theodore Church, built during the Roman era, and possibly constructed over the ruins of a temple dedicated to the god Ouzir.

Some researchers trace the name of Kfar Saroun to the Syriac language, meaning “the scary place.” Others argue that it means “the high elevated place.” It is also said that the town was named in reference to a person named Saroun, and since “Kfar” means “plain,” the town’s name would mean “the plain of Saroun.” No historical remains have been found in the town to indicate its history.

The town’s name was derived from the word “Qmamine,” the plural for “Qmine” (or “trap”), and the town is characterized by an abundance of water, pine and fir trees, and spacious woods. The Old Castle of Wadi Kattara and the Cave of Saifa, which constituted the fortress and residence of the Saifa family, are considered among its prominent historical sites.

According to tradition, the name of the village Al-Sfayreh can be traced back to the Roman leader Sfiros, who conquered the Dinieh region and built his well-known Al-Sfayreh Fortress, distinguished by its Roman art and decorations. A short distance from the village is one of the largest religious Roman buildings, Qala’at Al-Hosn. Its four temples, a number of columned altars, and other religious structures distinguish this site. In addition, some ruins of a great temple can be found at the southwest end of the village, partly hidden by modern construction.

The name of Bakha'oun originates from the Semitic root word “bakhah,” which means “stating what is right” or “exaggerating in blame.” Bakha'oun is considered one of the most important villages in the Minieh Caza and serves as a summer resort for the residents of Tripoli and neighboring areas. Some of its old buildings, such as one presently housing a public school, suggest that the area held a jail in Ottoman times and was a center for justice.

The town’s name originates from the Phoenician word “ba'al,” meaning “master or husband.” Deba’al is situated in the Dinieh mountains and is characterized by beautiful scenery. The village of Amamime, meaning “the Mother of God” in Aramaic, is also considered a part of Deba’al. Among the archaeological vestiges in the town are some old wells that date from Crusades and earlier eras, and the Al-A’amara fortress, whose history is unknown, but considered to be relatively modern.

Some researchers trace the name of Btourmaz back to the old Semitic language, to mean “leather making,” while others argue that it means “mountain of mining.” Btourmaz hosted many Phoenician and Crusader civilizations. Some of its most recognized ruins are the Hakmon Namroud Castle and the ruins of Deir Mar Maz.

The name Al-Minieh originates from the old Semitic language and refers to the Semitic god of luck and fortune, “Monat” or “Menny.” The village includes the Nabi Youcha’a and Mazra’at Artousa regions, and it is characterized by unique urban planning. The village has some old ruins, such as an old temple, an ancient hill called Hakmoun (a Phoenician god), located in the Mazra’at Artousa area, and the shrine of Nabi Youcha’a in the Nabi Youcha’a area.

Some historians interpret the town’s name to mean “God, my power and my aid,” while others believe the name refers to “Azz Eil,” or “God’s might.” Still other researchers dispute this, arguing that the name is Arabic and signifies the sun’s incline in the sky. Metaphorically speaking, Izal represents noontime, when the sun’s position is at the center of the town’s skies.Since no historical remains have been uncovered in the town, there is no indication of whether it was home to ancient peoples in bygone eras.

According to some researchers, the town’s name is a com-pound word meaning “bird’s plain” (“beqa’a” means “plain” and “sefrine” means “birds”) and originates from the Syriac language. Others believe it has a different meaning, referring to “the piece of land beside the mountain.”Beqa’a Sefrine is home to several springs, the most important of which are Ain Al-Arba’ain, Ain Al-Jarnif, Al-Sukkar Spring, and Al-Qarqashiyyeh Spring. The town has several restaurants and coffee shops that operate during the summer season.

Known as the capital of the North, Tripoli is Lebanon’s second largest city. Its historical wealth, relaxed lifestyle, and thriving business climate make it a city where modern and medieval blend easily into a lively and hospitable metropolis.

The Greeks called the city Tripolis, meaning “three cities” (Sidon, Tyre, and Arados), whereas the Phoenicians called it Ather or Tour Bil, meaning “the Mountain of God Bil.”

Forty-five buildings in Tripoli, many dating from the 14th century, have been registered as historical sites. Twelve mosques from Mamluke and Ottoman times have survived, along with an equal number of madrassas or theological schools. Secular buildings include the hammams or bathing-houses, which followed the classical pattern of Roman-Byzantine baths, and the khan or caravansary. The souks, together with the khans, form an agglomeration of various trades where tailors, jewelers, perfumers, tanners, and soap-makers work in surroundings that have changed very little over the last 500 years.

Habitation of the site of Tripoli goes back to at least the 14th century B.C., but it wasn’t until about the 9th century B.C. that the Phoenicians established a small trading station there. Later, under the Persians, it was home to a confederation of the Phoenician city states of Sidon, Tyre, and Arados Island. Built on the trade and invasion route near the Abu Ali River, Tripoli’s strategic position was enhanced by offshore islands, natural ports, and access to the interior.

Under the successors of Alexander the Great during the Hellenistic period, Tripoli was used as a naval shipyard. There is also evidence that it enjoyed a period of autonomy at the end of the Seleucid era. Under Roman rule, starting with the takeover of the area by Pompey in 64-63 B.C., the city flourished, and during this period the Romans built several monuments here. The Byzantine city of Tripoli, which by then extended further to the south, was destroyed, along with other Mediterranean coastal cities, by an earthquake and tidal wave in 551 A.D.

After 635 A.D., Tripoli became a commercial and shipbuilding center under the Umayyads. It achieved semi-independence under the Fatimid Dynasty, when it developed into a center of learning.

At the beginning of the 12th century, the Crusaders laid siege to the city, finally entering it in 1109. The conquest caused extensive destruction, including the burning of Tripoli’s famous library, the Dar Al-I'ilm, with its thousands of volumes.

During the Crusaders’ 180-year rule, the city was the capital of the County of Tripoli. However, Crusader Tripoli fell in 1289 to the victorious Mamluke Sultan Qalaoun, who ordered the destruction of the old port city (today Al-Mina) and the construction of a new inland city near the old castle. It was at this time that numerous religious and secular buildings were erected, many of which still survive today.

Asnoun’s name is derived from the word for “storage rooms” in the old Syriac language. However, some researchers also argue that its name is derived from the Semitic language and indicates three meanings: “doubt and scabby,” “cold and freeze,” or “maintenance and protection.” Other researchers have translated the town’s name as meaning “reserve,” which may be related to religious rituals and blessings. Asnoun is known for its olive and almond fields as well as for the cultivation of tobacco and vegetables. In addition, the town is home to the ancient Maronite Church of Saint Jacob.

The town’s name can be traced back to the Semitic language, to mean “the mountain’s base and slope.” Ehden was known during ancient times as the “paradise of the circle.” Ehden is famous for its old souk and its public square known as Al Diman, where village residents and neighbors meet during long summer nights. The town’s church holds the embalmed body of Youssef Beik Karam, one of Lebanon’s heroes of the 19th century. According to historical records, Ehden was burned in 1586, but the causes of the fire are still unknown.Ehden is home to 23 worship places, including churches, monasteries, and shrines, such as: Deir Al Saleeb (“The Cross Convent”); the ancient Church of Saint Georges; the Church of Saint Mary and Saint Ibhay the Syriac; Saint John Church; Saint Estephan Church; Saint Ghaleb Church; Mar Mama Church, which was built in 749 A.D. and is the oldest Maronite church in Lebanon; Our Lady of Al-Hosn Church; Mar Abda Church; Saint Michael Church; the Convent of Mar Sarkis and Bakhos, which

The Church of Our Lady of Hosn stands on a hill overlooking Ehden. This church was built over the remains of a Crusader castle established for securing passage, control, and protection. From the church’s balcony, a visitor can enjoy a view of the cedars from one side and Tripoli and the sea from the other side.The town is also home to the Horsh of Ehden, with a variety of trees, plants, flowers, and rare animals. Horsh Ehden was declared a protected nature reserve by the Lebanese government in 1992.

The town’s name can be traced to the Syriac language to mean “ibex and he-goat.” Some researchers also argue that the name is derived from the root word “ya’el,” meaning “profit and gain.” The name may be also derived from the root word “k’aal,” mentioned in Phoenician tales, meaning “the grapevine or its flower.” Various springs originating from the top of Miziara mountain meet in the village of Ia’al and supply it with potable water. The town is home to various archeological sites, such as a citadel built in 1816 by Moustapha Barbar Agha, with an area of about 5,000 square meters. The citadel includes stables, wells, tanks, soldiers’ barracks, and weapons storerooms. At the west end of the citadel is the cemetery of its owner, which can still be seen today.

The name of Ayto is translated as “summer resort” in Syriac, in reference to its location on an elevation relatively close to the coast. Ayto is famous for its horn-like structure cut into rocks, known as the Qarn (Horn) of Ayto. Ayto’s landscape is rocky, with forests of trees growing between the rocks. The town has some old vestiges, such as an old tower and a temple. Above the temple stands the Monastery of Saint Simon Al Amoudi, indicating that this land was a Phoenician place of worship. A completely submerged sarcophagus cut into rocks was discovered in Ayto and has been deemed very important by researchers. The sarcophagus is composed of a tomb cut into rocks known as the Nawous, and it is located to the north of the Qarn of Ayto. Some researchers believe the sarcophagus belongs to Kinaan Bin Ham Bin Noah, also known as Finik, the grandfather of the Phoenicians. During the 2nd century B.C., Ayto became famous for its forests, as indicated by a hieroglyphic inscription kept in the Beirut National Museum. This inscription was sent by Egypt’s Pharaoh Pépi II to one of the Byblos kings asking for a number of trees from the woods of the God Ayto in order to extract the resin used by the Egyptians for embalmment.

The name Bnacha’i originates from the old Semitic language and stands for “companions’ sons” or “jokers and frivolous.” The town is home to some Byzantine sarcophagi, in addition to some worked stones indicating the previous existence of old buildings. In more recent history, Youssef Beik Karam and his followers resided in Bnacha’i, where the famous battle against the Turkish troops took place in 1886.Bnacha’i is famous today for its nature reserve, spread over an area of around 2 million square meters. There are 160,000 different types of pine and olive trees planted in the reserve, in addition to an artificial lake established in 1996. Wild animals and birds were brought to the reserve from outside the country.

Some researchers trace the name Zgharta to the Semitic language, meaning “surrounding,” and referring to the fact that the town was once surrounded by a wall. Other researchers believe the name is Aramaic in origin and stands for “castle and fortress.”Tradition relates the establishment of modern Zgharta to the early Ottoman period, when a military convoy under the command of an Ottoman officer stopped in Ehden and was warmly welcomed for three days by the residents under severe weather conditions. The officer was impressed by the hospitality of residents and promised to give them a spot on the coast where they could spend the winter season. This new winter residence was called Zgharta. The Church of Saydet Zgharta is considered among the richest churches in Lebanon and houses religious books and scripts from the work of Ehden writers.

The origin of the name Harf is Semitic, and in the Lebanese popular language it means “the edge of the mountain.” This name has been attributed to the closeness of Miziara mountain. Harf Miziara is a relatively new town, established at the beginning of the 19th century and affiliated through its real estate and municipality with the town of Miziara. No ancient ruins have been found in the village.

Known as “the top of the spring” in Syriac, Rasha’in is famous for the abundance of its water, mainly the Spring of Rasha’in. The town used to be the center of the Maronite parish, and today it has become an important tourist center, with numerous coffee shops and parks next to its river. Historical vestiges indicate that Rasha’in has been home to several ancient civilizations, dating back to prehistoric times and including the Phoenician, Greek, and Roman eras.

The town’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning “the fire of the master” or “what belongs to the master.” However, some researchers argue that the name is derived from the word for “grapes, vine, and God Iyl,” because village tradition states that the first grapevine was planted in the town by the Lord so that Jesus and his disciples would drink its wine during the Lord’s Supper. In addition, some historians trace the town’s name back to the temple of “Sti Ba’el,” the ruins of a huge old building next to which were found some buried pottery and coins. Seba’al is also home to some sarcophagi cut into rocks.

The town’s name can be traced in Syriac to mean “the village of wheat.” The village is also known as “Kfarhata Al Shamriyya,” in reference to the Sheikhs of the Shommar family who ruled the area, and as “Kferhata Al Zawyeh.” At the bottom of the village passes the River of Jou’it.Kfarhata is home to the ancient Byzantine Church of Saint Georges Arab, which is surrounded by the remains of walls of a large monastery. It is said that this monastery was originally for nuns and that an underground tunnel used to connect it to the spring of Beit Karabache. The town has an old well, 8m deep, with a tunnel at its bottom used to bring water from the Jou’it River when the town was under siege. Kfarhata is also home to the ancient Church of Mar Mema, built in 1632 and renovated in 1986. This church has three altars: one for Mar Mema, one for Saint Joseph, and one for Saint Georges. The town still holds the remains of a tower belonging to the Shommar family, who once ruled the area.

The origin of the word “Sadeh” is Syriac, meaning “grass and herbs,” and the meaning of the town’s name is “a vineyard full of grass” or “the vineyard of 100 steps.” Karem Sadeh is home to the ancient Church of Saint Michael, dating back to the 14th century. The archbishop of the Cham countries (Levant). Georges Bin Amima, originated from Karem Sadeh. In addition, one of the first students of Rome’s religious school was the deacon Gerges Al Karam Saddan, who also came from Karem Sadeh.
