ANTI-LEBANON

'Anti-Lebanon' is a mountain range of mainly Lebanon, but also Syria, and Israel. It runs east of and parallel to the Mount Lebanon range.
The range's length is approximately 150 km; the highest peaks are Mount Hermon (Jabalu sh-Shaykh, in Arabic جبل الشيخ) on the Israeli-Lebanese-Syrian Border, at 2,814 metres, which is the range's most southern point, and Ta'a Musa at 2,669 metres.
The border between Syria and Lebanon is to a large extent defined by a line drawn along the crest of the range. In the north the Anti-Lebanon extends to the latitude of the Syrian city of Homs. To its west lies the Beqaa Valley, which divides it from the Lebanon range. To the east, in Syria, lies the Helbun valley which contains the city of Damascus.
