DAY 1 - 08.11

from
TURKEY: Avsuyu - a village in Antakya district of Hatay Province

to
SYRIA: As Suqaylabiyah - a city in Al-Suqaylabiyah District of Hama Governorate

(the district includes most of Al-Ghab plain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ghab_Plain - The valley was flooded for centuries by the waters of the Orontes River, which rendered it a swamp. The "Ghab project", beginning in the 1950s, drained the valley to make it habitable, arable land. Before its drainage, the Ghab was the center of the catfish (Silurus glanis) fisheries of the Orontes valley)

map of the area where Kalvi continued

(source: https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/lebanon)

- Beka Valley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beqaa_Valley
a fertile valley in eastern Lebanon; the valley is situated between Mount Lebanon to the west and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains to the east

- Anti Lebanon Mt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Leba ... #Geography
The Anti-Lebanon range is approximately 150 km in length. To the north, it extends to almost the latitude of the Syrian city of Homs before dying out. To the south, the range coalesces with the Golan Heights plateau but includes the highest peaks of Mount Hermon (Jabalu sh-Shaykh, in Arabic جبل الشيخ), at 2,814 metres and Ta'a Musa at 2,669 metres. These peaks are snow-covered for much of the year and are located on the Israeli-Lebanese-Syrian Border. (source: https://en.advisor.travel/poi/Anti-Leba ... ntains-880)
