A red-roofed town set among the eastern foothills of Mount
Sannine, Zahle enjoys a prime location in the Beqaa valley.
Snowcapped mountains tower above it in winter, while in
summer its 945 meter elevation keeps the air light and dry.
The city center spreads along both banks of the Bardouni
River, with the older section of town on the upper
elevations of the west bank and the shopping district on the
east bank.
At the northern end of town is the Bardouni river valley
known as Wadi El-Arayesh (Grape Vine Valley) – the site of
Zahle's famous outdoor restaurants.
