The Anti-Lebanon mountains (Arabic: جبال لبنان الشرقية, romanizedJibāl Lubnān ash-Sharqiyyah, lit.'eastern mountains of Lebanon') are a southwest–northeast-trending, c. 150 kilometres (93 miles) long mountain range that forms most of the border between Syria and Lebanon. The border is largely defined along the crest of the range. Most of the range lies in Syria.
