Located at the crossroads of the Mediterranean in West Asia, Lebanon is home to a long and rich cultural diversity and ethnic mixture. The country is bordered to the north and east by Syria, to the south by Israel, while the Mediterranean Sea separates Lebanon and the island of Cyprus to the west. The narrow coastal terrain of Lebanon is mostly populated by mountains, with a dozen rivers flowing down its slopes and into its valleys.
The climate of Lebanon is mostly Mediterranean, characterised by long and hot dry summers, and cool and rainy winters. In the high mountainous altitude, winters are colder with snowfall, while spring offers pleasantly warm temperatures.
