The name Kouba is derived from the Aramaic language, meaning “the cup or goblet.” The town is home to ancient cemeteries engraved into rocks and caves inhabited by prehistoric man. The remains of Stone Age tools, such as awls, knives, javelins, and stone axes, were found in these caves and are now on display at the Museum of Université Saint Joseph in Beirut. In addition, one of these caves has been transformed into a sanctuary for Saint John the Baptist.Among the more recent vestiges in the town are a Crusader era church and the Monastery of Saint Sauveur (the Savior). The Mar Ya’acoub (Saint Jacob) Church was built over a pagan temple, but the only remains of this church today are sections of a Crusader wall on its western side.

The town’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning “the guardian of Jbeil.” Smar Jbeil is home to the structure of Al-Madina Al-Kashfiyya (“the Scout City”), the only city of its kind in Lebanon, established in 1974, and part of which has been transformed into a military barrack. Among the most important vestiges in the town is the Citadel of Smar Jbeil, dating back to the Phoenician times. The citadel was later occupied by the Romans, who left various inscriptions on its northern wall, followed by the Crusaders, who built cellars next to its towers and a church to the east of the citadel. The citadel is also characterized by its wells carved into rocks and its deep tunnels.Smar Jbeil is also home to several historical churches. These include: Al-Zwar Church, located next to the citadel and dating from the early Christian era; Al-Saydeh (Our Lady) Church, built before the Crusader era; and Mar Nohra Church, established during the early Christian era and with Syriac inscriptions on its eastern wall. Above the entrance of this church lies a sculpture of eleven stone rings in a cross shape, out of which hangs a vessel. In the village of Smar Jbeil stand two ancient pillars, between which an old cemetery has been discovered.

Rachana’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning “the small peak.” In the middle of the 20th century, Rachana’s name gained significance in the field of arts when the Basbous brothers (Michel, Alfred, and Youssef) spread their sculptures all over the town, transforming it into an open air museum. This talent was passed on to the second generation of Basbous family, who preserved the family’s art school.In 1994, the brothers Alfred and Youssef Basbous hosted the “International Sculptor Atelier” in Rachana, through which a number of international sculptors of different nationalities left their works in the village. This event still takes place during the month of August of each year, and new sculptures are added every year alongside the sculptures of the Basbous family. As a result of this active sculpture project, Rachana has been named the “International Capital of Sculpture in Open Air” by UNESCO.

Some researchers argue that Ras Nhash derives its name from the Syriac word meaning “copper,” while others relate it to the Aramaic word meaning “charming and distinguished.” Next to the town are located some old natural caves that were once used as hermitages. In the middle of the town stands a tower dating back to the Arab era, with tiger paintings near its entrance, in addition to an old mosque that may have been built during the same period.

The town was originally named “Kfour Al-Arabi,” in reference to its being the residence of many old generations. The name was then modified according to the accent of the local population to Kfour Al-Arabi. Others consider the town’s name to be derived from its Al-Arabi “Carriage” shape. Roman monetary pieces engraved with the head of the Emperor Constantine were found in the town, in addition to a historical fountain, an old Byzantine church, and sarcophagi and old cemeteries on the mountainside. The town is also home to the Church of Saydet Al-Qala’a Al-Aja’ibiyyeh, built in an elevated place between the suburbs of Hardine and Al-Kfour. The church’s structure is an old temple inside a cave, part of which is natural and part of which was sculpted by hand. The church is surrounded by old ruins.

The name of Hardine is derived from the Syriac language, meaning “the scared people,” referring to people who fear and respect God. The town has also been known as “the Village of Faith and Religion,” “the Village of the 30 Monasteries and Churches,” “the First Village to Know Christianity in Mount Lebanon,” and “the First to be Mentioned among the Villages.” Hardine is rich with monuments. Around 50 sarcophagi engraved into rocks were found in the town. Moreover, in the midst of Hardine appears the famous and unique “Blata,” a rocky plain cut at its middle by the highway, which used to be part of a large Roman temple. In the valleys of Hardine are various caves that were transformed during the Phoenician and Christian eras into hermitages named after martyrs and saints. Hardine is also home to the remains of the temple of the God Mercurios, dating to the Roman era and known as “the Roman Place of Hardine.” Roman inscriptions carved into rocks have been discovered in the town, and a large pagan temple, known as “Rocks’ Temples” was found in the area of Musailaha. In the area of Al-Chmeiss stands the remains of an ancient temple and stone statues of a Phoenician god. Important religious heritage sites in Hardine include: Saydet Al-Qala’a Hermitage, built in a cavity inside the Mount of Hardine; Mar Takla Church in Haret Kassab; Mar Estephan Monastery and Hermitage; and Mar Gerges and Adna Church, characterized by its two altars, one Maronite and one Syriac.

Al-Batroun’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, from the root word “bater,” which means “cut,” in reference to the Al-Batroun maritime wall which was cut into rocks. The town is home to archaeological vestiges from several consecutive eras through history.In the districts of old Al-Batroun stands a Phoenician citadel (9th century B.C.), which was demolished by an earthquake on the 9th of July 551 B.C. and later restored by the residents to look as it does today. In the area of Mrah Al-Sheikh are the remains of a Roman amphitheater, where only 11 steps are still apparent. In the southern part of the city are found several Roman tombs and sarcophagi, and the coast hosts an ancient, natural port that is still used as harbor for fishing boats. Al-Batroun’s religious sites include Mar Estephan Maronite Cathedral, considered to be one of Lebanon’s largest churches. This cathedral was built over the remains of an old Crusader church and is characterized by an architectural style combining Byzantine and Roman influences. The town is also home to Mar Gerges Orthodox Church, built in the Byzantine style with a unique dome, and the 19th century Church of Saydet Al-Bahr, built over the ruins of a Phoenician temple and containing four icons painted with gold.

Douma’s name is derived from the Phoenician language, meaning “The quiet, peaceful and restful.” This red-roofed town, which stands at the head of a long fertile valley known as Kfar Hilda and Bassateen Al-A’assi, is proud of its ancient remnants. In the town square sits a 4th century A.D. sarcophagus, bearing a Greek inscription recording that this was the burial place of Castor, who died in 317 A.D. Castor was a priest of the two gods Hygeia and Asklepios, who were Greek gods of health and healing. Other ancient remains in Douma are set into the walls of the Churches of Mar Doumit and Mar Challita. On the post office lawn nearby are some millstones and oil presses, probably from the late Roman or Byzantine times. Near the roadside just above the town is the ancient Church of Mar Nohra, built into the rock. The church yard is shaded with a Mediterranean oak, and this beautiful spot is a pleasant place for a picnic (stone picnic tables are provided).

The name Tannourine is the plural of Tannour, derived from the Syriac language, meaning “bread stoves.” Other researchers believe that the word Tannourine originally referred to “enlightened.” The village of Tannourine lies in a splendidly beautiful area near the mountain of Tannourine. The village also shares its name with a cedar forest of some 60,000 trees distributed on an approximately 600 hectare piece of land. This forest, which lies at an altitude ranging from 1,200 and 1,850 meters, was been classified as a nature reserve in February 1999. The Tannourine cedars can be seen along the road that goes north to Hadath Al-Jibbeh, in the direction of Bcharre, the Qadisha Valley, and the Cedars of Arz Ar-Rab.The Tannourine area is known for its large sinkhole known as Bala’a. A 300-meter walk brings you to this dizzying open cavern some 255 meters deep. Three natural bridges – the middle one is the most spectacular – complete the scene. If you visit the area in springtime, you can see an impressive waterfall some 90 meters high. A river disappears into the cave, never to be seen again, hence its name Bala’a or “drain.” Besides the sinkhole, the surrounding hills invite exploration. This is a pleasant place for a picnic as well.In and around Tannourine village are numerous scattered remnants from pre-Roman, Roman, and Byzantine times. The Crusader Church of Mar Challita is further evidence of the village’s long history, and even today the saint is honored in an annual feast on August 20.

The town's name derives from the Syria language, meaning "the doctor." The archeological sites in Assia include Saint Gerges Church (1846), remains of Saint Assia monastery that is built over Roman ruins, as well as the remains of Mar Saba Maronite monastery. At the southern outskirts of the village, Saydet Al-Qala'a Church stands on a hill surrounded by sarcophagi carved into rocks, in addition to olive and grape rock presses. During the summer of 2002, a 4.05 meter-high statue of the Virgin Mary was built near the Al-Saydeh Church. Recent discoveries have unearthed other sarcophagi on the west side of Mar Gerges Church.Assia's good quality soil has also helped to distinguish its pottery handicrafts trade.
