Machghara is to be seen at its most beautiful when the moon rises above it until the wanderer imagines that it is just behind the town and within easy reach. Amir Fakdreddine Al-Ma'ani would spend the summer in Machghara and the winter in the valley of Taim near Hasbaya.
For this reason the Amir was dubbed Moon of Machghara and Full Moon of Taim Valley.
