All Hotels near Deir el-Qamar in Lebanon
Deir el-Qamar with its distinctive, narrow streets that overlook historic buildings and palaces is practically an open-air museum that dates back to several centuries. It is a restored and maintained town in a style many centuries old. Deir el-Qamar not only preserves its grand feudal architecture, but its old stepped streets, walled gardens and picturesque corners as well.

During the Ottoman era starting in 1516, the rulers of Mount Lebanon ran their affairs from the administrative centers of Ba'aqline, Beiteddine and Deir el-Qamar. Prince Fakhreddine Al-Maani II, one of the most prominent Ottoman leaders who extended the frontiers of Mount Lebanon to its present borders, moved the capital from Ba'aqline to Deir el-Qamar in 1590. He was forced to make the move owing due to a severe water shortage in Ba'aqline, and he exercised his rule from the new capital until his death in 1635. Remnants of his heritage can still be seen in Deir el-Qamar today, a mosque, churches and a synagogue.
