Day 2
Breakfast :
buffet breakfast at your hotel in Beirut.
Today is dedicated towards visiting the Roman ruins of Baalbek, the Ummayad city of Anjar and Lebanons most conspicuous Winery, Ksara!
Baalbek :
Known in Roman times as Heliopolis, Baalbek is famous for its exquisitely detailed yet monumentally scaled temple ruins! Lebanon’s greatest Roman treasure (and indeed among the World’s best preserved), it can be counted among the wonders of the Ancient World. Towering high above the Bekaa plain, their monumental proportions proclaimed the power and wealth of Imperial Rome. The temple complex of Baalbeck is made up of the Jupiter Temple and the Bacchus Temple adjacent to it. A short distance away is the circular structure known as the Temple of Venus.
Anjar :
A World Heritage Site, Anjar was formally known as Gerrha, a stronghold built by Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid ibn Abdel Malek in the 8th century. Unlike some of the sites in Lebanon that have been inhabited such as Byblos which have been inhabited since the day they were founded, Anjar flourished only for a few decades only to later be abandoned. Anjar has a special beauty. The city's slender columns and fragile arches stand in contrast to the massive bulk of the nearby Anti- Lebanon mountains - an eerie background for Anjar's extensive ruins and the memories of its short but energetic moment in history.
Ksara Winery :
The Chateau Ksara in the Beqaa Valley is Lebanon’s most famous producer of quality white and red wines, as well as Arak and Brandy. Although not as famous as its most illustrious European counterparts, the wines have recently won several accolades at the Vinalies Internationals in Paris. We will take a tour through the winery as well as have the opportunity to sample the award winning wines along with a sommelier from the house of Ksara.
Return to the Beirut hotel for an overnight

Day 3
Breakfast :
buffet breakfast at your hotel in Beirut
Today you will visit the famous Jeita Grottos and take a tour of Beirut before departing on your evening flight.
Beirut City Tour :
Beirut, a city that was once known as the “Paris of the Middle East” has undergone tremendous reconstruction since the end of the civil war in 1990. Our first stop today will be a visit to the Solidere district which best illustrates the extent of the reconstruction and the determination of the Lebanese to once again become a regional commercial hub. We then proceed to visit the Corniche and stop for a short walk along Beirut favourite promenade along the Mediterranean. The Corniche offers spectacular views of the infamous pigeon rocks, and is lined on one side with an array of restaurant and cafes. We conclude the Beirut tour with a visit to the National Museum that documents the history of Lebanon till 3,000 B.C. and is located at the site of the most intense fighting during the civil war, the Green Line.
Jeita Grottos :
We then make the brief 20 KM drive to the north of Beirut towards the Jeitta Grottos. One of Lebanon's most unusual tourist attraction, an enormous cavern festooned with every shape and size of stalactite and stalagmite. The 9 KM labyrinth is on two levels with the lower level offering us the chance to take a flat-bottom boat tour past the “weeping willows”, and the upper grotto which offers us tremendous views of mineral animals. A finalist in the “New Seven Wonders of the World” competition, it is one of the most unforgettable experiences on your trip!
Afterwards, we bid our guests farewell. The guests will be picked up and taken to Rafic Harriri International Airport where our airport team will assist them with their departure, immigrations and luggage. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you again soon!
