Lebanon is located in southwestern Asia, with the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south. It measures approximately 130 miles (210 kilometers) north to south, and 25 to 50 miles (40 to 80 kilometers) wide. The capital city is Beirut, which is about 150 miles (245 kilometers) north of Jerusalem.

Two rugged mountain ranges, the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon, run parallel to the coast, from Tripoli to Tyre, with extensive ravines and valley systems between them. The heights average from 7,000 feet (2,135 meters), up to about 10,200 feet (3,100 meters) above sea level. The highest peaks are covered with snow and ice all year round, and can be seen from far to the south in Israel.

Lebanon is the God-commanded northern boundary of Israel (Joshua 1:4).

The Sea Of Galilee, is just to the south of Lebanon.
