One tour, three completely different versions of Lebanon. The morning is Beirut — seafront, downtown landmarks, a mosque and cathedral sharing the same square, Roman baths in the middle of a rebuilt city, and the deliberately unrepaired Civil War facade that tells you more about this country than a week of reading. The afternoon is the Chouf Mountains — Beiteddine Palace, one of the finest 19th-century palaces in the Arab world, and Deir el Qamar, Lebanon's first capital and one of the best-preserved Ottoman villages in the country. Lunch included in Deir el Qamar. One guide connects it all.
