| Zahle
A red-roofed
town set among the eastern foothills of Mount Sannine.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.
Zahle is famous
for its good food and it’s a good idea to have
a meal in one of the restaurants along the Bardouni
river and taste the traditional Lebanese mezze.
A tour of Zahle’s
winery is a good way to see how wine and arak are made.
Of special interest here are the extensive underground
caves built around a natural grotto known and enlarged
by the Romans.
