Pick-up from Your Hotel or a central Beirut meeting point. Your guide introduces the day’s journey as you head east through the Lebanese mountains toward the Bekaa Valley.

Drive east to Anjar and explore Lebanon’s only Umayyad archaeological site. Walk the colonnaded main street and discover the palace ruins of this unique 8th-century trading city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Visit one of the largest carved monoliths ever discovered. Located near Baalbek, this massive Roman-era stone block continues to raise questions about ancient engineering techniques and construction methods.

Arrive at Baalbek and explore the magnificent Roman temple complex with your guide. See the Temple of Jupiter, the remarkably intact Temple of Bacchus, and the Temple of Venus. Your guide explains the site’s 9,000-year history — from Phoenician origins through Roman occupation to the modern day.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Baalbek’s old town or in Zahle. Your guide will recommend the best spots for traditional Lebanese cuisine.

Visit a renowned Bekaa Valley winery for a guided cellar tour and wine tasting. Learn why this high-altitude valley produces some of the Middle East’s finest wines.

Scenic drive back through the mountains, arriving in central Beirut by approximately 17:30.
