Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Lebanon's flag consists of two horizontal red stripes at the top and at the bottom, and a white stripe with a cedar tree in the middle. Which of the following does the cedar tree NOT represent?

Answer: Purity

The cedar tree, which was used as a symbol of Lebanese Christians since the 18th century, is the Lebanese national emblem.

After gaining independence from France in 1943, the Lebanese people decided to change the French flag from vertical stripes to horizontal stripes, and removed the blue from it. They also added the cedar tree to the white background.
2. Beirut is Lebanon's capital city, and it is the largest one in the country, but there are other large cities in Lebanon. Which of these is home of the Island of Palm Trees, declared a protected reserve by UNESCO in 1992?

Answer: Tripoli

If you thought Tripoli was in Libya, you're right! But it is also the name of the second largest city of Lebanon, for which reason the Libyan city has become known as Tripoli of the West, so it isn't confused.

Beirut is a city with a mix of Islamic, Jewish and Christian religions.
3. Qurnat as Sawda' is a very important place in Lebanon, What is so special about it?

Answer: It is the highest peak of Lebanon.

At 3,088 meters above sea level, Qurnat as Sawda' is the highest point of Lebanon. It has cold weather and frequent snowfall.

According to medieval religious literature, Noah planted a tree in the summit of Mount Lebanon, Qurnat as Sawda'.
4. What is one of the main exports of Lebanon?

Answer: Jewelry

Authentic jewelry is one of the most exported goods from Lebanon to the world, especially other Middle Eastern countries. Cars, though, are one of the most imported goods to the country.

Falafel is actually a traditional Middle Eastern food, which by the way is delicious!
5. Lebanon borders Israel and Syria. A very important organization in the country, which has seats in the Lebanese parliament but also performs attacks against Israel is usually at conflict with its neighbor Israel. Which organization is this?

Answer: Hezbollah

Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organization by countries like the United States, Great Britain and France, but is also protected and respected by Iran and some people in Syria.

Hezbollah is also regarded as a political party, as it has members in the Parliament and Cabinet of Lebanon. The issue of whether they are terrorists is controversial.
6. Israel and Lebanon share their seas, as they are literally separated by a giant cable. From which Israeli geologic formation can the Israeli and Lebanese parts of ocean be seen?

Answer: Rosh Hanikra

The Rosh Hanikra caves are amazing rock formations in Israeli territory. Train tunnels made years ago for transportation between the countries and now inactive can be seen in the outside of the caves.

Lebanon is "just around the corner" of Israel. Rosh Hanikra, although Israeli territory, shows the ocean divided in two, and the military bases of Israel that prohibit civilian entry, as Lebanon is just steps away.
7. What is the name of the longest river in Lebanon, that is the only major river of the Middle East that doesn't cross international boundaries?

Answer: Litani River

The Litani River provides water for the entire country of Lebanon. The Litani River Authority is in charge of handling subjects pertaining to said river.

Sections of the River were under Israeli control in 1978, and then again from 1982 to 2000.
8. The Beqaa Valley is an important farming region in Lebanon. To which other country does it stretch?

Answer: Syria

Although mostly all of Beqaa Valley is inside Lebanon, it also stretches to Syria.
During the 1982 Lebanon War, the Beqaa Valley was home of the Beqaa Valley War, when Israel entered Lebanon with an amazing air force and later won the war.
9. When does Lebanon celebrate their independence from France?

Answer: November 22

On November 22, 1943, Lebanon became independent from the French-led League of Nations mandate. It is celebrated as a national holiday.

September 16 is Independence Day for Mexico, as is July 4 in the United States.
10. Cedars are the national symbols of Lebanon. At Mount Lebanon, a big mountain range, the Cedars of Lebanon can still be seen. The cedars have been associated with Lebanon for a long time, from the time of the Old Testament. Which of the following is true about Mount Lebanon?

Answer: It covers more than a third part of the country.

The Cedrus libani, or Lebanese cedar, is mentioned in the Old Testament, as people would live from chopping cedar trees off from Mount Lebanon and selling them to Jewish people for the construction of the Jewish Temple of Jerusalem.

Mount Lebanon receives a great amount of rain and snow annually. The name of the mount can be traced back to Semitic roots, where they make reference to the snow-covered trees. The easiest way to climb the mount is by scrambling, ascending through the rocky path.
