Qaltaiba is a mountain town in the Bekaa Governorate in eastern Lebanon, situated on the edge of the valley between the Lebanon and Antillean mountain ranges, at an altitude of about 1,100 meters above sea level, about 80 kilometers from the capital city of Beirut. This historic city is known for its well-preserved traditional architecture and rich cultural heritage, with the old town's stone streets, Ottoman-era mosques and Maronite churches interspersed with each other, demonstrating the harmonious coexistence of Lebanon's diverse religions and cultures. The area is predominantly agricultural, producing grapes, apples and olives, and has a strong tradition of handicrafts, particularly in wood carving and copperwork. With its cool climate and breathtaking mountain scenery, Qaltaiba is also a popular destination for summer escapes in Lebanon, attracting travelers to explore its unique natural and human charms.
