Mount Lebanon (Arabic: جبل لبنان‎; transliterated: Jabal Libnan) is one of the Governorates of Lebanon. Its capital is Baabda. The governorate is often dubbed the "Heartland of Lebanese Christians" due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of its population is comprised of Maronites, Greek Orthodox, and Greek Melkite Catholic Christians. However, there is a substantial amount of Muslims in the area, including the Druze community.
