Iaal is an ancient village located approximately 12 km south-east of Tripoli, 85 km from Beirut and 5 km from Zgharta. It is located within the Zgharta District of the North Governorate of Lebanon. Iaal lies at the foot of the Mount Lebanon range and has a road that runs up into the mountains passing through its borders. The most identifiable building in Iaal is the castle/fort built on the hilltop of the village centre.
