Mount Lebanon Governorate (Template:Lang-ar) is one of the eight governorates of Lebanon. Its capital is Baabda. The majority of the population is Druze and Christian (chiefly Maronite, Greek Orthodox, and Melkite), with a smaller minority of Muslims of various sects.
This governorate is named after the mountainous region of Mount Lebanon and, except for the small Beirut Governorate, spans the area along the Mediterranean coast between Lebanon's North Governorate and South Governorate.
Districts
The governorate is divided into six districts (aqḍiyah, singular qaḍāʼ):
| District | Arabic name | Capital |
|---|---|---|
| Aley | قضاء عاليه | Aley |
| Baabda | قضاء بعبدا | Baabda |
| Chouf | قضاء الشوف | Beiteddine |
| Byblos | قضاء جبيل | Byblos |
| Keserwan | قضاء كسروان | Jounieh |
| Matn | قضاء المتن | Jdeideh |
Religion

Maronite Christians form the majority of the Kesrwan and Byblos districts, and a plurality in the Metn and Baabda districts (other Christian denominations such as Greek orthodox, Armenian orthodox, and Greek Catholics, make up the rest of the population alongside Muslim minorities). The Druze are the majority in the Aley district and a plurality in the Chouf district (nearly equal in numbers with Sunni Muslims and Christians). Shia minorities exist in Baabda and Byblos districts, making up 25% and 20% of those regions, respectively.
