Baabdat

Baabdat () is a town located in the Matn District of Mount Lebanon, 22 km from Beirut at an altitude ranging between 600 and 1100 meters above sea level. The lush pine forests that surround the town make it a very popular summer resort for those escaping the busy coastal cities of Lebanon, especially the capital, Beirut. The town's proximity to Brummana, one of Mount Lebanon's most active summer destinations, makes Baabdat a major tourist destination in the summer.

Baabdat è una località libanese nel distretto di al-Matn sul monte Libano a 22 chilometri da Beirut. Situata ad un'altitudine tra gli 800 e 1100 m.s.l.m, la foresta di pini che circonda la località la rende molto frequentata d'estate da coloro che scappano dalle congestionate città sulla costa, soprattutto dalla capitale Beirut. Gli abitanti sono prevalentemente cristiani maroniti o cattolici. Ai tempi dell'impero romano i taglialegna di Baabdat trasportavano i tronchi nei contieri navali romani a Beirut. Sono originari di Baabdat l'ex-presidente libanese Émile Lahoud, il politico, ministro e ambasciatore negli Stati Uniti Émile Lahoud, la regista e produttrice cinematografica Nadine Labaki e il padre dell'attrice Salma Hayek.
