In addition to pine forests there are vineyards, fig orchards, olive groves and thyme grow in abundance.

Roumieh is characterized by a temperate climate,[1] including dry summers, rainy winters, and transitional fall and spring seasons.

The word "Roumieh" comes from Aramaic, meaning "hills" and refers to this characterising feature of the local terrain.

Like all Lebanese mountain villages, Roumieh is marked with very beautiful terraces (Jleleh), designed to optimise the use of its land for agriculture and horticulture.

Indeed, as cited above, some of the crops grown in Roumieh are exceptionally good given that the community ceased being agrarian nearly half a century ago.

One can find some very pretty traditional Lebanese houses (pyramidal red brick roofs, white or sandstone walls with overlooking balconies and verandas shaped with arches in the old Levantine style) in Roumieh.
