The Beqaa Valley...blessed by the Lords

Beqaa (Arabic: البقاع, "valley"; also transliterated as Bekaa, Biqâ or Becaa) is a fertile valley in east Lebanon. The Romans considered the Beqaa Valley to be a major agricultural source, and today it remains Lebanon’s most important farming region.



You can’t help but be mesmerized as you walk around the Beqaa. These pictures were taken by my colleague Benoit Berger who tries to bring out the best of the places we visit in our field trips. There is a lot to be done in the Beqaa, a great potential to be responsibly developed and enhanced.
