Rachaya
84 Km from Beirut, the town of Rachaya, in a remote corner of Lebanon, has been only lightly touched by the modern building boom affecting most of the country. On its cobbled main street; small shops sell old fashioned oil stoves, reflecting the needs of this chilly mountain town where the giant Mount Hermoun (snow-covered six months of the year) looms overhead. This town is also known for its locally made gold and silver jewelry.
