What To Expect

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).

Amazing tour of Anjar, Baalbek+ lunch and winery tour! The guide was super friendly, the food was amazing and the places breathtaking. Baalbek was a sight to behold. Definitely recommended if you like cultural landmarks (food is culture too 😉) even a tiny bit.
Perfect day trip

Baalbek absolutely blew my mind! I was with Albert who is the best guide ever! And literally the ruins at Baalbek are greater and 100x more impressive than anything in Greece or Italy- what a sight to see. This is a MUST for anyone visiting Lebanon

I took this small-group tour to Baalbek and Anjar with Lebanon Tours and Travels today, and it was such a great day. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish. The team was awesome to deal with before booking—they got back to me quickly and answered all my questions, which made me feel super comfortable. They picked us up from our Beirut hotel right on time, and the whole tour went just as planned. We started at Anjar and then headed to Baalbek. Our guide and driver, Albert, was the best. He’s such a nice guy—really friendly, patient, and knows so much about Lebanon’s history. He made the whole day so interesting with his stories. I loved learning about the Umayyad history in Anjar and the huge Roman temples in Baalbek—they were unreal to see in person. Albert never rushed us and was always happy to take pics for us. Lunch was incredible—a big Lebanese spread in the Bekaa Valley. I’m vegan, and they had so many local dishes I could eat, like creamy hummus, roasted eggplants, spinach pies, and spicy potatoes. It was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The sites were amazing, and the whole day felt so special. If you’re in Lebanon, you’ve gotta do this tour with Albert and his team. I’ll never forget it!

We had a lovely and intimate tour with Albert! He took me and my new found friend to Balbeek and gave us fascinating stories and information on the history and architecture. Never felt like this was a job with him, more like king lost family with every tour and every day we traveled!
Exceptional!

The whole trip exceeded my expectations.. I was collected in time, very friendly guide, and the very informative. Both main visits with a professional archeologist. On top the lunch was excellent. Although hesitant about Ksara, it turned out to be a nice end of the visit to the Beeka valley.
Excellent!

This was a superb tour. Natasha is an archaeologist and brought many insights from her expertise. She always had something interesting to say as we went along, and the meal was superb too.
