Baalbek, Jeita Grotto & Byblos Private Tour | From Beirut
Overview
Available languages
10 hours
Mobile ticket
If you only have one full day in Lebanon — make it this one. This ambitious private tour from Beirut packs three of the country's most extraordinary landmarks into a single day — a day that begins among the greatest Roman temples on earth, descends into one of the world's most spectacular cave systems, and ends in one of the oldest cities ever built.
At Baalbek, you will stand inside a temple larger than the Parthenon, beside stones heavier than anything a modern crane can lift. At Jeita Grotto, you will glide by boat through an underground world of ancient rock formations that no human hand created. In Byblos, you will walk streets that have been walked for 7,000 years — past Phoenician tombs, Roman columns, and a Crusader castle built from stones recycled across millennia. Three completely different worlds, one unforgettable day.

What To Expect
Beirut
7:30 AM — Departure from Beirut Your private guide and driver collect you from your Beirut hotel and head east on the Damascus highway — climbing through the Lebanese mountains as the Bekaa Valley opens dramatically below, stretching between two mountain ranges toward the horizon.
Before the temples, stop at the ancient Roman quarry where the Stone of the Pregnant Woman still lies exactly where it was cut 2,000 years ago — a single limestone block 21 metres long and weighing an estimated 1,000 tonnes, never moved, never finished. Standing beside it reframes everything you are about to see at the temples. If this is what was left behind in the quarry, what did they actually use?
