Pierre de la femme enceinte
Stone of the Pregnant Woman — the perfect introduction
Before the temples, stop at the ancient Roman quarry to see the Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a single limestone block 21 metres long and weighing an estimated 1,000 tonnes, still lying exactly where it was cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. A wonderful and awe-inspiring introduction to the extraordinary scale of Roman engineering that awaits you at the temple complex just minutes ahead. Your driver explains the fascinating mystery behind this remarkable stone.

Temple of Jupiter
Temple of Jupiter — the world's greatest Roman temple
Enter the greatest Roman temple complex ever built — and prepare to be genuinely astonished. The Temple of Jupiter stands on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes — the largest dressed stones ever used in construction in human history. Six of its original 54 columns still stand at 22 metres tall, each one a remarkable feat of ancient engineering. Your driver shares the full story of how the Romans built this extraordinary monument — making the experience genuinely educational and deeply memorable for visitors of all ages.

Temple de Bacchus
Temple of Bacchus & Temple of Venus
Walk to the Temple of Bacchus — larger than the Parthenon in Athens and almost entirely intact after two thousand years, making it the best-preserved Roman temple in the world. Its magnificent carved doorway, ornate ceiling coffers, and 42 standing columns are breathtaking by any standard. The circular Temple of Venus completes a complex that has inspired wonder in visitors for centuries. Take your time, take your photos, and enjoy one of the world's truly great historical sites with your driver's knowledgeable and engaging commentary.

Baalbeck
Lunch in Baalbek — optional
A wonderful optional lunch at a local Baalbek restaurant — hearty Bekaa Valley mezze, grilled meats, and fresh flatbread in a town that has been welcoming and feeding visitors for two thousand years. A relaxing and enjoyable break before heading to Ksara.

Château Ksara
Chateau Ksara — Roman caves & wonderful Lebanese wine
End the day on a delightful and memorable note at Chateau Ksara — Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuit monks in 1857. The highlight of the visit is the extraordinary Roman cave cellar system stretching 2 kilometres beneath the winery — ancient tunnels where wine ages naturally at a constant temperature year-round. Walking through these fascinating ancient caves after a morning at Baalbek creates a wonderful and unexpected connection — two Roman worlds in the same valley, one above ground in stone and one quietly ageing underground. The tasting that follows showcases Ksara's iconic Cabernet-Syrah blends, crisp Blanc de Blancs, and beloved Sunset Rosé — a thoroughly enjoyable close to a wonderful Bekaa day.
