Deir Mimas

Deir Mimas is a picturesque hill village surrounded by olive groves. The village overlooks the Litani river and Beaufort Castle to the west and the snow-capped summits of Mount Hermon to the east. The Litani River has long been the source of life and beauty in southern Lebanon and Jabal Amel.

Tourists and residents of the village continue to be drawn to the banks of the river to visit its historic windmills. Beaufort Castle is the largest and most scenic Crusader castle in Lebanon and has been fought over even in recent times.
