The Levant is a historical and geographical region in Western Asia, which lies along the Mediterranean Sea’s eastern shore. The term is currently used to refer to the countries of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine. The origin of the term "Levant" is from the French word "levant," which is translated as "rising," as it is a reference to the direction of the sunrise from a European perspective (East). After World War I, the French mandate for Syria and Lebanon was called the Levant States.
