Anti-Lebanon Mountains (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Anti-Lebanon mountains is the Western name for the Eastern Lebanon Mountain Range (Arabic: ), which are a southwest-northeast-trending mountain range between Syria and Lebanon. Its Western name (Anti-Lebanon) comes from the Greek word for 'opposite'. The majority of the mountain range lies in Syria. The border between Syria and Lebanon is largely defined along the crest of the range. At its southern end it is also within the Golan Heights. The range lies east of and parallel (opposite) to the Mount Lebanon range. To the west lies the Beqaa Valley in the north and the Hasbani River valley in the south. These valleys separate it from the Lebanon range in central Lebanon. To the east, in Syria, lies the Eastern Plateau which contains the city of Damascus.
