The topography of Lebanon can be distinguished into four distinct physiographic regions as observed on the physical map of the country above.
The narrow and discontinuous coastal plain along the Mediterranean Sea features both sandy bays and rocky beaches.
Further inland and rising from the coast is the Lebanon Mountain range that is around 100 miles (160 km) long and has many snow-capped peaks.Deep gorges cut through this mountain region. The highest point of Lebanon is Qurnat as Sawda’ which peaks at 10,128 ft. (3,087 m) in the Lebanon Mountains. Its position has been marked on the map by a yellow upright triangle.
Between the Lebanon Mountains to the west and the parallel running Anti-Lebanon Mountains in the east is the Al-Biqāʿ valley. This valley is part of the East African Rift System and features fertile soils.
Over a dozen minor rivers flow from the mountains, with the Litani the most significant, as it irrigates the heart of the fertile Bekaa Valley.
