Abstract
Lebanon is situated latitude 33.5oE
and longitude 35.5oE on the eastern
shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The
country covers an area of 1.0452
million ha with an average width of 48 km
and an average length of 220 km. It has two
mountain ranges, Mount Lebanon which
runs parallel to the sea overlooking the
narrow coastal plain, and the Anti Lebanon
range which runs to the eastern side parallel
to Mount Lebanon. The two mountain
ranges are separated by the Bekaa valley the
main productive agricultural area in the
country. The northern part of Bekaa valley
is, however, semi-arid and almost too dry
for agriculture.
