Most Lebanon day trips head to the same handful of destinations. This one goes somewhere different — into the mountain interior that most visitors never reach, combining three stops that experienced Lebanon travelers consistently rate as among the most rewarding in the country. Alpine lakes above Aaqoura. The Baatara Gorge Waterfall — a 255-metre cascade dropping through three natural stone bridges in a limestone sinkhole that looks engineered but was carved entirely by water over millions of years. And Douma — a UNWTO Best Tourism Village 2023, one of only a handful recognized globally for preserving rural landscapes, cultural diversity, and culinary traditions, sitting almost entirely unknown to international visitors in the Batroun mountain district.
Small group of maximum 12. Knowledgeable English-speaking driver throughout. All tickets included. Lunch optional in Douma at your own expense — the village has good local restaurants and the setting is worth the stop.

Beirut
9:00 AM — Hotel pickup Your driver meets the group at your Beirut hotel and heads north into the Lebanese mountains toward Aaqoura — the landscape shifting dramatically as you gain altitude above the coast.
Aaqoura Lakes — alpine lakes in the Lebanese mountains Arrive at the alpine lakes above Aaqoura — a cluster of natural mountain lakes sitting high in the Lebanese interior, accessible year-round and almost entirely unknown to international visitors. The combination of mountain scenery, clear water, and the complete absence of tourist infrastructure is precisely what makes this stop worth the drive. Your driver covers the geography and ecology of the Aaqoura valley throughout the visit. Multiple photo stops at the best viewpoints.
