What To Expect
Baalbek, is home to the Baalbek temple complex which includes two of the largest and grandest Roman temple ruins: the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple of Jupiter. It was inscribed in 1984 as an UNESCO World Heritage site. This Phoenician city, where a triad of deities was worshipped, was known as Heliopolis during the Hellenistic period. It retained its religious function during Roman times, when the sanctuary of the Heliopolitan Jupiter attracted thousands of pilgrims. Baalbek, with its colossal structures, is one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee.
Temples of Baalbek
The complex of temples at Baalbek is located at the foot of the south-west slope of Anti-Lebanon, bordering the fertile plain of the Bekaa at an altitude of 1150 m. The city of Baalbek reached its apogee during Roman times. Its colossal constructions built over a period of more than two centuries, make it one of the most famous sanctuaries of the Roman world and a model of Imperial Roman architecture. Pilgrims thronged to the sanctuary to venerate the three deities, known under the name of the Romanized Triad of Heliopolis, an essentially Phoenician cult (Jupiter, Venus and Bacchus).

Great experience with a reputable tour operator

5.00My friends and I did two tours with this group - the first day was the Qadisha, Becharri and Cedars, the second was the Baalbek and Wine Tasting tour. I did a lot of research on tour providers as we had some safety concerns. I can now tell you that you can book with this tour company without any worries. Albert was our driver/guide both days and he was fantastic. While we only scratched the surface of the complexities of Lebanon I learned a lot and am inspired to learn more. The scenery was fantastic and the food...oh, the food! So delicious. If I had one regret it was that I didn't book with them for a Beirut tour when we first arrived. While the one we did was fine, I now realize that this tour company would have provided something even better. Thank you Albert!
Thank you Hassane & Kefraya
