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).
Sayyida Khawla Shrine
The Mosque of sayeda Khawla in Baalbek, Lebanon is erected on the site where Sayyida Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, is believed to have been buried.

5.00Today with Lebanon Tours and travel fantastic excursion to Baalbek done. At first I was a bit hesitant by the location of this world wonder but because of our fantastic guide and driver Albert this quickly faded into the background. He knows the local situation and they take no risks with their guests. Albert has a lot of knowledge about Lebanon , history , geopolitics and speaks fantastic English . In Baalbek he arranged for us a local guide what a living history book was. All in all an unforgettable day excursion and can highly recommend this company . Multi-day trips can also be arranged, who knows for a next time.
