Rachaya el-Wadi (راشيا), is a town of the Rashaya District in the south of the Beqaa Governorate. It is situated at around 1,350 meters above sea level on the western slopes of Mount Hermon, south east of Beirut near the Syrian border, and approximately halfway between Jezzine and Damascus.
It's a traditional Lebanese town with its old cobbled streets and small shops, even though it witnessed in recent years a slight expansion of buildings. It retains a distinguished character of traditional stone houses with red tiled roofs. The Rashaya Citadel, also known as the Citadel of Independence, has been declared a national monument, having been first built as a palace by the Chehab family in the 18th century.
