Private Tour
Private Qadisha, Cedars Hike & Baalbek | May–Oct · Local Guide
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
Seasonal tour — available May 1 to October 31 only. The high mountain road connecting the Cedars of God to Baalbek closes each winter — making this combination impossible for six months of the year and genuinely special for the six it runs.
This is the private version of Lebanon's most dramatic seasonal day trip — the route that uses a mountain road open only in summer to connect three destinations that cannot be reached together any other way. A UNESCO World Heritage gorge in the morning. An easy hike through ancient cedar trees at 2,000 metres. A mountain crossing that only opens in May. The greatest Roman temples on earth in the afternoon — with an expert local guide who knows every stone.
Private vehicle and knowledgeable driver throughout — your pace, your schedule, nobody else's itinerary. Expert local guide joins at Baalbek. Entrance tickets payable on site. Optional lunch in Baalbek on the return.

What To Expect
Beirut
8:30 AM — Hotel pickup Your driver meets the group at your Beirut hotel and heads north — coastal highway climbing into the Lebanese mountains toward the Qadisha Valley. The scenery shifts dramatically as you gain altitude.
Qadisha Valley
Qadisha Valley — UNESCO gorge · photo stop at the rim Pull over at the rim of the Qadisha Valley — sheer limestone walls dropping hundreds of metres to the valley floor below, dotted with ancient monastery caves carved into the cliff face over seventeen centuries. Qadisha means "Holy" in Aramaic. Your driver covers who lived here and why these inaccessible cliffs were chosen. Multiple photo stops along the rim — the view that makes people understand why Lebanon's north is different from everywhere else.
