Located in the Anti-Lebanon mountain range, Mount Hermon is a prominent mountain peak with an altitude of 2814 meters. The mountain is known for its snow-capped peak, which attracts many visitors in winter for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing. In addition, the mountain has important historical and religious significance as it is mentioned in ancient texts such as the Bible and in Greek mythology. Mount Hermon is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, including some that are rare and unique to the region.

Another attraction is Rachaya el-Wade due to its old souks, traditional houses, and the Citadel of independence. Most importantly, there is a newly declared nature reserve in Rachaya that also serves as a religious landmark. It is believed to be the place of the transfiguration of Jesus Christ.
