Akkar
Akkar is the northernmost region of Lebanon, a fertile coastal plain and hill country on the border with Syria, now a governorate. The plain lies along the Homs Gap, the route from the Mediterranean coast to the Orontes valley, and was controlled in the Bronze Age by Sumur, probably at Tell Kazel.
