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 southwest 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).

The tour is absolutely stunning! The ruins was preserved really well and I can imagine how magnificent those sites were! Our guide is wonderful and gave us such in-depth understanding on the place, the people, the history, and the culture. We were leaning a lot and really happy. This tour is highly recommended and worth every penny!

Great tour, Hassan was a very considerate and knowledgeable guide and we basically had the tour to ourselves. I was amazed by the sites at Anjar and Baalbek, and it was very cool to have a real archaeologist show us around the sites and explain everything. The winery tour and tasting, while not included, is not too expensive and worth it for a little cool down and interesting look at the winery caves before returning to Beirut. Take this tour, you won't regret it!
