قصر بيت الدين
Beiteddine Palace — a jewel of Lebanese heritage
Arrive at one of the most impressive palaces in the entire Arab world — built between 1788 and 1840 by Emir Bashir II, the powerful ruler who unified Lebanon's mountain communities. Three beautifully decorated interconnected courtyards with hand-cut tilework, carved cedar-wood ceilings, and ornate reception halls give you a wonderful sense of Lebanon's royal history and craftsmanship. Do not miss the underground museum beneath the palace — home to Lebanon's finest collection of Byzantine mosaics, floor panels of extraordinary colour and beauty that most visitors are delightfully surprised to discover. Today the palace serves as the official summer residence of the Lebanese President.

قلعة موسى
Moussa Castle — one man's extraordinary dream
Just minutes from Beiteddine is one of the most charming and most unique attractions in all of Lebanon. Moussa Castle is a full-scale medieval castle built entirely by one Lebanese man — Moussa Maamari — who spent sixty years constructing it by hand, stone by stone, after a teacher mocked him as a boy saying he would never amount to anything. The castle is filled with hundreds of life-size wax figures depicting scenes from Lebanese history, village life, and Ottoman-era traditions. A short but genuinely delightful visit that surprises and charms every visitor — young and old alike.

Deir el Qamar — Lebanon's charming first capital

Wander the cobblestone central square framed by honey-stone mansions dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. A mosque and a church stand peacefully side by side — a heartwarming symbol of the Lebanese coexistence that this village has embodied for centuries.
