Lebanon–Syria border


The border between the Syrian Arab Republic and the Lebanese Republic runs for a total length of about 375 km; it accounts for most of the land border of Lebanon (except for the short border with Israel in the south). It runs eastward from the Mediterranean coast, following the Nahr al-Kabir al-Janoubi. The Lebanese border forms a salient to include the villages of Karha and Knaisse Akkar in the northwest of Akkar District, just west of the Syrian Lake Homs, and again turns to the south-east, cutting across the Orontes (at 34°27′18″N 36°29′24″E / 34.455°N 36.490°E / 34.455; 36.490) and the trans-Beqaa road between Qaa and Al-Qusayr (at 34°25′18″N 36°32′36″E / 34.4217°N 36.5433°E / 34.4217; 36.5433), reaching the Anti-Lebanon mountains at about 34°13′N 36°36′E / 34.22°N 36.60°E / 34.22; 36.60.
