Winter is very cold in the highest areas where snow and black ice are common, and tempered in the lowest areas, closer to the Houla plain. Summer is mild, though sometimes warm.Agriculture and livestock farming are very diverse, thanks to the climate. Mountain fields are ideal for fruit trees such as cherries, pears, apples, plums, walnuts, olives as well as for certain cereals. Lower areas a great for the culture of oranges, peanuts, citrus fruit. Furthermore, thousands of goats, famous for their adaptation to hard natural conditions, graze peacefully in the region.Chebaa is full of testimonies of ancient occupation, built by the former region's inhabitants, such as roman temples on the mountain tops, most important being the temple built on the Jabal El Cheik summit, at an altitude of 2814 m, and currently known as Kasr Antar or Chbib. Some still call it the roman crematorium.Columns, ruins and sculpted rocks can also be seen on other hills. Chebaa is also famous as a place of worship for all religions, as Jesus appeared of the Jabal Haramoun summits. A chapel, consecrated to the prophet Abraham, is located of a beautiful oak covered hill, close to the Ramtha farm, one of the Chebaa farms. It is till now an important pilgrimage site. This is where Abraham divided the bird in four pieces and spread them on the four surrounding mountains, which got closer after he had called them. This story is reminded in the Koran. Several ancient mills, olive-presses as well as an old church and an old mosque can also be seen in the city.Chebaa's town council as created in 1952.
