Arsal is a border town in the Bekaa Governorate in northeastern Lebanon, located near the Lebanese-Syrian border, about 130 kilometers from the capital, Beirut. Located in the rugged eastern foothills of the Antillean Mountains, the town has historically served as an important trade route connecting Lebanon with Syria. With a population of around 40,000, predominantly Sunni Muslims, the economy is based on traditional agriculture and border trade, but has faced security challenges and refugee pressures in recent years due to the Syrian conflict. Arsal retains its traditional mountainous Lebanese village character and is known for the warmth and hospitality of its inhabitants, and despite the complexity of the situation, it remains a window into the culture and history of the Lebanese border.
