- Temples of Baalbek - Situated at the base of the southwestern slope of Anti-Lebanon, the Baalbek temple complex borders the fertile Bekaa plain at an elevation of 1150 meters. Baalbek flourished during the Roman era, with its monumental structures, constructed over more than two centuries, establishing it as one of the most renowned sanctuaries of the Roman world and a prime example of Imperial Roman architecture. Pilgrims flocked to this sanctuary to honor the three deities, known as the Romanized Triad of Heliopolis, which was primarily a Phoenician cult (Jupiter, Venus, and Bacchus).

Locals hold that when the caravan of Karbala captives passed through Baalbek, Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, passed away and was laid to rest there.
