The Shoof Area In this wonderful and fertile mountain area one find Deir Al-Qamar, or " Convent of the moon", the ancient residence of the governors of Lebanon in the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. Further on, half way on the road to Beit Eddine, one should definitely bring a visit to the peculiar Castle of Moussa. At Beit Eddine at last overlooking a deep gully, you find the Palace of Emir Bechir II who governed Mount Lebanon for almost half a century. Turned into a museum, it is probably one of the most visited places in Lebanon !   About Lebanon Beirut The Shoof Area Baalbak Byblos Anjar Tripoli The Cedars South Lebanon Tour activities
