SME Internet Coverage in Lebanon

Beirut governorate is the capital city itself: a single, dense district of mixed-use neighbourhoods running from Hamra, Ras Beirut and Verdun in the west to Achrafieh, Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael in the east, with Mazraa, Tarik El Jdideh and the port-side quarters in between. Apartment towers, clinics, offices and home workers sit on the same streets, so most buildings need both fast residential lines and business-grade connectivity.

Mount Lebanon wraps around the capital from the coast to the mountain ridge: the Metn and Kesrouan strips north of Beirut (Sin El Fil, Antelias, Jounieh, Kaslik), Baabda and Aley to the east and south-east (Hazmieh, Hadath, Bhamdoun, Aley) and the Chouf further south. It is SME's largest coverage zone by number of areas, mixing coastal commercial belts with hill towns such as Broummana, Bikfaya and Beit Mery.

North Lebanon runs from the Batroun and Byblos coast up through Tripoli, the country's second city, to Akkar at the Syrian border, with the Koura plain, Zgharta and the Bsharri and Danniyeh highlands inland.

South Lebanon follows the coastal highway from Saida (Sidon) through Sarafand to Tyre (Sour), with the villages of the Saida and Tyre districts behind the coast and the Jezzine hills inland.

The Bekaa is Lebanon's inland valley east of Mount Lebanon: Zahle and the Chtoura corridor on the Beirut–Damascus road form its commercial spine, Baalbek and Hermel lie to the north, and the West Bekaa and Rachaya districts stretch south toward the border.

Nabatieh governorate covers the interior of South Lebanon around the market town of Nabatieh, with the surrounding villages of the Nabatieh district and the Marjayoun, Bint Jbeil and Hasbaya districts.
