Hike in the morning, Roman temples in the afternoon, wine underground at the end — this private day trip from Beirut hits three completely different experiences that have no business being this close to each other.

Cross into the Bekaa Valley and stand beside the Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a 1,000-tonne limestone block that was never finished and never moved — before entering Baalbek, where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon and the Temple of Jupiter sits on stones heavier than anything a modern crane can lift.
