Despre activitate
The Bekaa Valley's three most historically compelling destinations — one private day from Beirut with specialist local guides at both archaeological sites, lunch included, and all entrance tickets covered. Anjar: the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant, built by Caliph Walid I in the 8th century and abandoned within decades — explored with a local guide who brings this overlooked masterpiece to life. Baalbek: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon — explored with a specialist local Baalbek guide whose knowledge of these extraordinary structures goes well beyond what visiting guides can offer. Ksara: Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857, with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars that close the day by connecting directly back to the morning.
Two specialist local guides. One knowledgeable driver. Lunch fully included. The most comprehensively covered version of this Bekaa itinerary available.

Anjar — specialist local guide · the only Umayyad city in the Levant
Built in the early 8th century by Caliph Walid I — the same ruler who commissioned the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem — and abandoned within decades, never rebuilt. Colonnaded streets dividing the city into four quarters, a grand palace with over 40 towers, a mosque, and bathhouses — all still standing in the Bekaa plain. Most visitors to Lebanon drive straight past without stopping. A specialist local guide makes sure you understand exactly what you are looking at — the urban planning, the speed of construction, the mystery of the abandonment — and why Anjar is one of the most significant and most underappreciated archaeological sites in the Middle East.

Stone of the Pregnant Woman — the quarry that sets the scale
Before the temples — the Stone of the Pregnant Woman in the ancient Roman quarry. A single limestone block, 21 metres long, weighing an estimated 1,000 tonnes, cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. Your driver explains the engineering logic — and why this unfinished block is the best possible preparation for what you are about to enter.

Baalbek Temple Complex — specialist local guide
The greatest Roman temple complex on earth — with a specialist local Baalbek guide whose knowledge of these structures goes well beyond what visiting guides can offer. The Temple of Jupiter on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes — the largest dressed stones in human history. The Temple of Bacchus, larger than the Parthenon and almost entirely intact — the best-preserved Roman temple in the world. The Temple of Venus completing a complex that took three centuries to build. Having already seen Anjar with a local guide, the Roman world of Baalbek lands with even greater force — two civilisations, the same valley, two specialist interpreters.

Chateau Ksara — Roman caves, Lebanese wine, founded 1857
Lebanon's oldest winery — founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 above 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars where wine ages at a naturally constant temperature year-round. The cave tour connects directly back to the Roman world you explored this morning at Baalbek — same civilisation, same valley, a different kind of legacy entirely. Then a tasting of Ksara's iconic Cabernet-Syrah blends, crisp Blanc de Blancs, and celebrated Sunset Rosé. A day that opened at an 8th-century Umayyad ghost city closes in ancient Roman wine caves. The Bekaa in one day.
