(Noah's
Tomb
9
km)
One
kilometer
beyond
Zahleh,
this
40
meter-long
2.5
meter-wide
structure,
located
in
the
village
mosque,
is
said
to
be
the
tomb
of
Noah.
According
to
the
legend,
a
large
lake
once
covered
the
now
fertile
plain,
and
it
was
there
that
Noah's
ark
landed
after
the
flood.
Ancient
Arabic
inscriptions
abound
on
the
walls
of
the
mosque,
which
seems
to
have
been
constructed
of
reused
Roman
stones.
The
village
itself
has
a
long
and
colorful
history,
with
nearby
ruins
of
different
periods,
including
Roman. |
