The Anti-Lebanon Mountains are a mountain range located in western Asia, primarily along the border between Syria and Lebanon. They run parallel to the Lebanon Mountains to the west and are known for their rugged terrain and significant elevation, with the highest peak, Mount Hermon, reaching about 2,814 meters (9,232 feet). This mountain range plays a crucial role in the region's climate, as it influences rainfall patterns and serves as a natural barrier. The Anti-Lebanon Mountains are also rich in biodiversity and host various ecosystems, making them an important area for both wildlife and outdoor activities.
