EDITORS COMMENTS
Nahr al-Kalb, or 'El Kelb' (The Dog River), is a picturesque waterway that flows from the mountains of Mount Lebanon near Beirut, Lebanon, and empties into the Mediterranean Sea. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the beauty and serenity of the river as it winds through the landscape. The mountains in the background, with their rugged hills and steep gorges, provide a dramatic backdrop to the winding river. The roads along the riverbank are barely visible, hinting at the isolation and tranquility of the scene. The name 'Nahr al-Kalb' is said to have originated from the shape of the river's bend, which resembles a dog's head. The Lebanese people have a deep connection to their rivers, and Nahr al-Kalb is no exception. It has long been a source of water, transportation, and inspiration for the local population. Today, the area around the river is a popular destination for tourists seeking to experience the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of Lebanon.
