The tour starts with a hotel pickup in Beirut, where travelers board a comfortable minivan or coach. The group then drives through the Bekaa Valley, a region known for its vineyards and landscapes. The first stop is the Umayyad ruins of Anjar, where visitors spend about 45 minutes touring the ancient city’s streets, palaces, and arches while learning about its role in early Islamic architecture. Next is a brief 15-minute visit to the Stone of the Pregnant Woman, a local rock formation accompanied by its legendary story. The largest stop is Baalbek, where the group spends roughly 90 minutes exploring Roman temples including the Temple of Bacchus, Temple of Jupiter, and the Great Court. Historical information about Phoenician and Roman periods is shared during the guided walk. Lunch takes place in Zahle, known for traditional Lebanese cuisine, with about one hour allocated for meals at a recommended restaurant (meal cost not included). Participants may also choose to walk around Zahle’s vineyards or streets afterward. The final visit is to Château Ksara winery, Lebanon’s oldest, where visitors spend about an hour touring the cellars, learning about wine production, and tasting wines. The day ends with a return drive to Beirut and hotel drop-off. This small-group tour lasts about nine hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch, air-conditioned transportation, and a professional guide. Entrance fees are not covered.
