Mount Hermon

Mount Hermon, also known as Jabal El-Sheikh, a landmark of biodiverse natural life, was very recently declared Lebanon’s newest nature reserve, making it officially the 18th in Lebanon. It’s a mountain cluster constituting the southern end of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range. Its summit straddles the border between Syria and Lebanon and at 2,814 meters above sea level, is the highest point in Syria. On the top, in the United Nations buffer zone between Syrian and Israeli-occupied territories, is the highest permanently manned UN position in the world. The southern slopes of Mount Hermon extend to the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights, where the Mount Hermon ski resort is located. As well, Mount Hermon can be seen from South Lebanon, Chouf, Bekaa and also Jordan, Palestine and Syria. Amazingly, it reigns as a queen  bride in winter with sacred scenery and created unmatched serenity.
