In 2003, Akkar was no longer a province, but was declared a muhafazah with Halba as its capital. The largest city of Akkar is Bebnin. Akkar has many important Roman and Arabic archeological sites. One of the most famous archeological sites and the birth place of the Emperor Alexander Severus, is the Tell of Arqa near the town of Miniara. The prominent township of Mish Mish is also located within Akkar. #160;This Lebanon location article is a stub.
