Zahle is known as the “Bride of the Beqaa” and “the Neighbor of the Gorge” due to its geographical location and attractiveness, but also as “the City of Wine and Poetry” It is famous throughout Lebanon and the region for its pleasant climate, numerous riverside restaurants and quality arak.

The occasional landslides which take place on the deforested hills around the town are probably at the origin of this name.
