Lebanon's north delivers four of the country's most distinctive experiences within the same mountain valley — and this private day trip covers all of them with lunch and all entrance tickets included. The Qadisha Valley: a UNESCO World Heritage gorge where Christian communities carved monastery caves into sheer limestone cliffs for seventeen centuries. The Khalil Gibran Museum: original paintings, manuscripts, and the tomb of the author whose book The Prophet has sold over 100 million copies. The Cedars of God: a UNESCO-protected grove at 2,000 metres where some trees exceed 1,000 years. The Monastery of Kozhaya: carved into the cliff face of the Qadisha Valley, housing the first printing press ever used in the Middle East.

4.00I am happy to have found this tour and I appreciate their flexibility, as they confirmed us the night before-- at 23:00! Our guide was informative and a good driver. My friend and I felt that we got in some good views and it was worth every penny. You must take this tour to really experience Lebanon! Although, I was not a big fan of lunch at their chosen restaurant. It's one of those overly priced tourist spots that try to guilt you into paying cash by saying the CC machine is down. I know all the tricks, I'm from the 3rd world baby! ;-)
