==Geography==
The Mount Lebanon range extends along the entire country for about , parallel to the Mediterranean coast.〔 Their highest peak is Qurnat as Sawda', at . The range receives a substantial amount of precipitation, including snow, which averages around four meters deep.〔Jin and Krothe. ''Hydrogeology: Proceedings of the 30th International Geological Congress'', page 170〕
Lebanon has historically been defined by these mountains, which provided protection for the local population. In Lebanon the changes in scenery are less related to geographical distances than to altitudes. The mountains were known for their oak and pine forests. The last remaining old growth groves of the famous Cedar of Lebanon (''Cedrus libani'' var. libanii'') is on the high slopes of Mount Lebanon, in the Cedars of God World Heritage Site.
The Phoenicians used the forests from Mount Lebanon to build their ship fleet and to trade with their Levantine neighbors. The Phoenicians and successor rulers consistently replanted and restocked the range so that even as late as the 16th century, its forested area was considerable.〔An Occasion for War, Civil Conflict in Lebanon and Damascus in 1860, Leila Tarazi Fawaz.
