         <description><![CDATA[<p>Zahle is a small city located in the valley north east of lebanon,it has a high percentage of green spaces around it which contributes to a healthier lifestyle such as very reduced noise pollution. Furthermore, the buildings in Zahle are predominantly low-rise and constructed from stone, preserving the city’s traditional architecture. This design creates negative spaces filled with light, enhancing the overall health of the urban environment. </p><p><br/></p>]]></description>
