Marjayoun is a border town in the Nabatiyeh Governorate in southern Lebanon, located near the Lebanese-Israeli borderline, about 80 kilometers from the capital Beirut. Historically, it was an important strategic location, and some of its historical sites are still visible today, including old churches and Ottoman-era buildings. The local economy is predominantly agricultural, producing grapes, olives, citrus and other crops, with grape cultivation being particularly well known and the grapes produced are used for winemaking and drying. The natural beauty of the area around Markeba, with its fertile plains and rolling hills, is an important agricultural area in southern Lebanon. Despite its location on the border, the local area still maintains the traditional Lebanese rural life atmosphere, the residents are friendly and warm, although the town is small, but carries the historical memory and cultural heritage of the southern region.
Located in the eastern part of the Republic of Chad, near the Darfur region of Sudan, Adré is the capital of the Ouaddai region. An important border trade center, the city connects the trade routes of Chad, Sudan and Central Africa, and its vibrant economy is reflected in its active camel market and crafts trade.
Located in the Sahelian zone, Adré has a tropical arid climate with less than 300 millimeters of annual precipitation. Surrounded by sparse grasslands and acacia forests, the population relies on traditional water management during the dry season. In recent years, desertification has posed a continuing challenge to local agriculture.
The city's population is predominantly of Arab and indigenous origin, with a predominantly Islamic culture. Mud-brick buildings are interspersed with modern amenities, and the weekly open-air market serves not only as a place for exchange of goods, but also as a platform for cultural exchanges between different tribes. Due to its proximity to the conflict zone, the city has also become an important hub for refugee resettlement.
