Békaa
A vast, open valley nestled in the east between Lebanon's two mountain ranges, the Békaa Valley has been known since ancient times as the "bread basket of Lebanon." The Valley is a checkerboard of fields, dotted with small villages - a testament of the region's agricultural heritage. Here you will find a center of Lebanese gastronomy, with a number of wineries producing world-renowned Lebanese wines, and an array of local restaurants with mouth-watering Lebanese cuisine.
The Békaa Valley might also be known as a "corridor of civilizations." Throughout ancient history, the Valley was a thoroughfare for commerce, a meeting point for major trading routes connecting Damascus with the coast and the Arabian Peninsula to more northern regions. The many impressive archaeological ruins in the Valley reflect its historical role as a crossroads for the civilizations that have inhabited the area over time.
