Lebanon's magnificent north is waiting to be discovered — and this small-group guided tour from Beirut is the most complete and most comfortable way to experience it. Four extraordinary destinations, a professional guide at every step, and all tickets and lunch fully included. Nothing to organise, nothing extra to pay — just a wonderful full day in one of the most beautiful and most spiritually rich landscapes in the Middle East.
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 of Lebanon's most beloved poet. Walk among the ancient Cedars of God on a gentle hike through a UNESCO-protected grove at 2,000 metres. And end the day at the Monastery of Kozhaya — carved into the cliff face of the valley, home to the first printing press ever used in the Middle East. All tickets included. Lunch in Bcharre included. A truly exceptional day.

What To Expect
Beirut
8:30 AM — Pickup from your Beirut hotel Your professional guide meets you at your hotel and heads north along the coastal highway before climbing into the beautiful Lebanese mountains toward the north — the scenery becoming more dramatic and more spectacular with every kilometre.
Qadisha Valley
Qadisha Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage wonder Arrive at the rim of the magnificent Qadisha Valley — one of the most breathtaking and most photographed viewpoints in Lebanon. Sheer limestone walls drop hundreds of metres to the valley floor below, dotted with ancient monastery caves and hermitages that Christian communities have carved into the rock face over seventeen centuries of faith and devotion. Qadisha means "Holy" in Aramaic — a name this sacred valley has fully earned. Your guide explains the remarkable story of the communities who chose these dramatic and inaccessible cliffs as their spiritual home, pointing out the monastery caves visible in the rock face below. Multiple photo stops along the rim give everyone in the group the best possible views and photographs.

5.00The tour took place in a thankful manner, although only 2 guests participated. Tour guide Mike drove safely, relaxed and experienced through the disastrous traffic. He additionally stopped at beautiful viewpoints and explained everything well and understandably. We had the opportunity to explore the places according to our own needs. Choosing the restaurant for the food was a local insider tip.
Good places, good food and wonderful driver guide
