If you are looking for one tour that captures the spiritual, cultural, and natural beauty of Lebanon's north, this is it. This private full-day tour from Beirut takes you through four of the most remarkable destinations in the country.
Begin at the breathtaking Qadisha Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage gorge where ancient monasteries cling to sheer limestone cliffs. Visit the Khalil Gibran Museum in Bcharre — the hilltop collection dedicated to Lebanon's most celebrated poet whose book The Prophet has touched hearts in over 100 languages worldwide. Walk among the ancient Cedars of God at 2,000 metres above sea level — trees that have stood for over a thousand years. And end the day at the Monastery of Saint Anthony of Kozhaya — carved into the cliff face of the Qadisha Valley and home to the first printing press ever used in the Middle East. Your knowledgeable driver is with you throughout, making sure you discover the full story of each extraordinary place.

Qadisha Valley
Qadisha Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage wonder Arrive at the rim of the magnificent Qadisha Valley — one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Lebanon and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The sheer limestone walls of the gorge drop hundreds of metres to the valley floor below, dotted with ancient monastery caves and hermitages that Christian communities carved into the rock face over seventeen centuries. Qadisha means "Holy" in Aramaic — a name that this sacred valley has fully earned. Your driver points out the monastery caves visible in the cliff face and shares the remarkable story of the communities who chose this dramatic landscape as their spiritual home. Multiple photo stops along the rim give you the best possible views.
