Lebanon - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel to Lebanon due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, unexploded landmines, and armed conflict. Some areas, especially near the borders, have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Lebanon, a small country situated on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, is characterized by a diverse geography that dramatically shifts within short distances. A narrow coastal plain borders the majestic Mount Lebanon range, which rises steeply from the sea. East of this mountain range lies the Bekaa Valley, a fertile agricultural region renowned for its vineyards and olive groves. Further east, the Anti-Lebanon Mountains form the border with Syria. Lebanon's highest peak, Qurnat as Sawda', sits within the Mount Lebanon range. The country's topography, combined with its Mediterranean climate, creates a variety of microclimates and ecosystems, making it a land of contrasts and natural beauty.
