SYNOPSIS: AN EXCURSION TO BEITEDDINE AND DEIR EL QAMARAlhambra of Lebanon is the nickname of the palace complex at Beiteddine, the seat of some “emirs” of Lebanon in the 19th century. They picked a gorgeous spot in the mountains, overlooking steep hills, deep, forested valleys with a view all the way to the Mediterranean – a tiny sliver of blue at the horizon.serveece
