How to Distinguish

  • Country-code top-level domain is .lb
  • Dark purple or brown utility poles and towers appear even in cities
  • Arabic is the primary language, but English and French signage is common
  • Imagery quality is poor; movement and camera angles often look odd

You’ll often see distinctive dark purple poles and towers—rare outside Lebanon. Grey pylons and red towers do exist as well.

Narrow down city/town

  • The Bekaa Valley lies between the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges; Zahlé’s plains are intensely farmed (参考文献 Zahlé)
    • Another flat option is the Akkar plains in northern Lebanon
    • Other pockets exist, but data is limited as of April 2024

In the Bekaa Valley, mountains rise on both sides , and agriculture is widespread . Remember that Akkar’s lowlands to the north also host farming.
