Explore the Bekaa Valley on a private guided tour from Beirut. Visit Baalbek’s Roman temples, the Umayyad ruins of Anjar, and Château Ksara winery on a full-day cultural experience.
Discover Lebanon’s rich history and scenic landscapes on this private full-day guided tour to the Bekaa Valley. Your journey begins in Beirut as you cross the mountains toward the fertile Bekaa plain.
Start with a short stop at Domaine de Taanayel, a peaceful agricultural estate surrounded by greenery and mountain views. Enjoy a relaxed walk and scenic photo opportunities before continuing deeper into the valley.
Continue to Anjar, a UNESCO-listed Umayyad city founded in the 8th century. Explore its colonnaded streets, palace remains, bath complex, and fortified stone walls while learning about its unique Islamic-era architecture and historical significance.
Next, stop at the historic Rayak Train Station for a brief photo opportunity before heading toward Baalbek.
Visit the Roman Quarry to see the famous “Stone of the Pregnant Woman,” one of the largest carved stones in the ancient world — a remarkable example of ancient engineering.
Arrive in Baalbek to explore one of the most impressive Roman temple complexes ever built. Discover the monumental Temple of Jupiter, the exceptionally preserved Temple of Bacchus, and the elegant Temple of Venus. Your guide will provide historical insights, followed by free time for photos and exploration.
Enjoy an optional lunch break at a traditional local restaurant in Baalbek (meal cost paid on-site).
Conclude your cultural journey with a visit to Château Ksara, Lebanon’s oldest winery established in 1857. Explore the historic underground caves and learn about the region’s winemaking heritage. Optional wine tasting is available (paid on-site).
