Highest Village in Lebanon
There is an ambiguity about the highest Lebanese village, although this ambiguity is not official. Lebanon is a country that has an average altitude of about 1000 meters above sea level, and contains the highest villages in the Middle East. The main villages of concern are Bekaa Kafra, Ainata, Kfardebian, Laqlouq, Tfail, Ouyoun Orghoch, and Souaqi. The information concerning altitudes given below is confirmed and based on Google Earth elevation indicator. Bekaa Kafra. A village in the Bsharri District. The denomination is a Syriac word composed of “Bekaa” which means “land”, and “Kafra” which means “fertility  and goodness”. Consequently, Bekaakafra means the fertile land. From the same place, you can see the deepest and most beautiful valley in Lebanon Wadi Kadisha, the Holy Valley, where were scattered monasteries, churches, hermitages, and caves. And where the wild flowers and trees grow in abundance. Ainata. Ainata is a village located in Northern Lebanon, between the Bsharri District and the Baalbek District. Ouyoun Al Siman and Faqra. Ouyoun al Simane and Faqra are both villages in Kfardebian, but they consist only of ski resorts, winter resorts and hotels and villas. They also offer great spots for observing wild mountain -goat behavior. Tfail. Tfail is a very remote village in Eastern Baalbek District Ouyoun Orghoch. Ouyoun Orghoch is a Lebanese locality located at the Eastern slopes of Qurnat as Sawda', and it consists of a lake, a few restaurants, and little houses but virtually no permanent residents. It rises 2100 m above sea level and while it is sometimes considered as a village, it cannot enter the list of the highest villages because it has no official municipality or mayor. It contains a factory for processing and packaging of mountain-goat manure which is plentiful in the region. Highest
