Beirut, Beiteddine & Deir el Qamar Small-Group Tour | Lunch Incl.
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
One tour, three completely different versions of Lebanon. The morning is Beirut — seafront, downtown landmarks, a mosque and cathedral sharing the same square, Roman baths in the middle of a rebuilt city, and the deliberately unrepaired Civil War facade that tells you more about this country than a week of reading. The afternoon is the Chouf Mountains — Beiteddine Palace, one of the finest 19th-century palaces in the Arab world, and Deir el Qamar, Lebanon's first capital and one of the best-preserved Ottoman villages in the country. Lunch included in Deir el Qamar. One guide connects it all.
This is the tour that answers the question most first-time visitors ask on day one: how do I see as much of Lebanon as possible in a single day without it feeling rushed? The answer is this itinerary, this guide, and a group of no more than twelve.

5.00Another amazing trip with our guide Albert! Of Beirut including the national museum, the blue mosque and the Star square. Then we journeyed to the Beiteddine palace and Deir el Qamar, beautifully constructed places with lots of history. Relaxed with a delicious lunch and even managed to explore some of Lebanon’s famous beer! A wonderful trip all tourists need to explore! Don’t forget to ask for Albert! He’s a legend tour guide always laughs and smiles on his tours!

5.00The driver, Albert, was waiting for us on time. After a very pleasant chat to get to know the three of us, we arrived at the Beiteddine hall. The great weather helped us on the tour of the palace. We learned a lot of interesting facts and Albert was able to answer all the questions we had. In Deir el Qamar, after a good meal, we visited several sites with stunning views. The return trip went very well.
Visit to Deir El Qamar

5.00With red tiled roofs, winding streets, and traditional stone houses, the village of Deir El Qamar (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) epitomizes idyllic mountain charm. It also highlights the religious diversity in Lebanon, with a mosque, a church and a synagogue all taking residence in its main square. Enjoy a stroll around the village, starting in the historic main square, where jousting tournaments took place during the Crusades.

4.00So happy to have seen Pidgeon rocks, especially in soft morning light for beautiful pictures. Deir El Qamar and Beiteddine palace were so very beautiful and I felt I was transported back in time. Had some amazing photos at the palace. And one of the best lunches ever which I haven't haven't experienced in other countries. This was my 2nd tour with this company and so pleased both times. A BIG thanks to our guide & driver Rabiye who got us back to our hotels safely during the protests. We couldn't finish the city tour bc of protests but so thankful to make it back into city!
