Two of the Bekaa Valley's most extraordinary experiences — one comfortable six-hour day from Beirut. This private tour combines Lebanon's most iconic archaeological site with one of its most charming and most memorable wine experiences, giving you a wonderfully varied and thoroughly enjoyable day.
At Baalbek — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — you will stand inside the greatest Roman temple complex ever built, where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon and the Temple of Jupiter rests on stones heavier than anything a modern crane can lift. At Chateau Ksara, Lebanon's oldest winery founded in 1857, you will walk through 2 kilometres of ancient Roman cave cellars before tasting some of Lebanon's finest wines. Back in Beirut by early evening — with memories that will last long after you return home. Your knowledgeable driver accompanies you throughout, sharing the history of this remarkable valley.
