About
Step beyond Beirut and into one of the ancient world’s most spectacular chapters. On this small-group day tour through Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, you’ll stand among the colossal Roman temples of Baalbek — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved Roman ruins on earth — explore the layered Byzantine and Umayyad history of Anjar, and raise a glass at a family-run Bekaa Valley winery in a region that has been producing wine for over 6,000 years. With a maximum of 15 guests, this is not a bus tour. It’s an unhurried, personal journey through Lebanon’s most historically rich landscape, led by a knowledgeable local guide who brings every stone and story to life.
