Its coastline measures just 225 kilometers (140 mi) in length with Cyprus directly across. Because of its position in the Mediterranean Sea, it sits at a crossroads between the Arab Orient.

Beirut is the capital and largest city. Other major cities are Zahle, Tripoli, and Sidon. Lebanon has a diverse landscape, with snow-capped mountains, green valleys, and sandy beaches. The climate is also diverse, ranging from temperate in the mountains to the Mediterranean along the coast.
