Venture to the less-visited southern regions of Lebanon on this history-packed sightseeing tour. Visit two seaside ancient sites, including Saida—home to a traditional soap factory and centuries-old sea castle—and Sidon, where you’ll have time to explore a Roman-era hippodrome and quaint fishermen’s port. Tours include an optional lunch stop for a chance to taste the catch of the day.

Some places deserve a whole day to themselves. Baalbek is one of them. This focused private day trip from Beirut takes you straight to the greatest Roman temple complex ever built — no extra stops, no filler, just Baalbek done properly — and gets you back to Beirut in six hours. The Temple of Bacchus alone is larger than the Parthenon and almost entirely intact after two thousand years. The Temple of Jupiter stands on stones heavier than anything a modern crane can lift. Before you even reach the temples, the Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a single limestone block weighing 1,000 tonnes still lying in its ancient quarry — sets the scale of what you are about to see. This is one of those places where the photos do not prepare you. Nothing does. You just have to go.

Visit Lebanon's Cedars of God, the Temples of Baalbek, and the Monastery of Qozhaya in just one day on this small-group tour from Beirut. You'll drive through beautiful countryside, stopping to see ancient cedars and paying a brief visit to the Qozhaya Monastery before heading to Baalbek. Here you'll take a tour with a local guide to the town's Roman temple ruins before making your way back to Beirut.

St. Charbel Annaya is a place of pilgrimage and a national shrine for all people of all faiths to visit, reach out and be blessed. This is a place where you never go back unhappy & disappointed. A fulfilling experience that will leave you in awe. Located on top of a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean sea, you can wait for a breathtaking sunset that is a must to witness. Byblos: A thriving modern town with an ancient heart, Byblos is a mix of sophistication and tradition. The old harbor is sheltered from the sea by a rocky headland. Nearby are the excavated remains of the ancient city, the Crusader castle, St. Peter church and the old market area.

Lace up your hiking shoes and get ready for one of the best easy hikes in Lebanon. This small-group day trip from Beirut takes you into the Jabal Moussa UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — one of the most ecologically rich and scenically dramatic protected landscapes in the Middle East — for a 3-hour guided hike to Chouwen Lake, a stunning high-altitude mountain lake tucked inside the reserve that most Lebanon visitors never find. The hike is easy, the trail is marked, and the reward at the end is a turquoise mountain lake surrounded by cedar-forested peaks. In summer, swimming in the lake is possible — making this one of the best hike-and-swim days you can do from Beirut.

With crazy traffic, not to mention road blocks, Lebanon’s second city is not a self-drive destination. See the sights without the stress, direct from your central Beirut address, on this private tour. You’ll visit the Citadel Saint Gilles and its Crusader castle, the Mamluk-era Al-Mansouri and Taynal mosques, plus souks, hammams, the port, and more, with a stop at the celebrated Hallab 1881 candy store too.

Lebanon's mountains hide natural wonders that most visitors never find. This small-group tour from Beirut takes you deep into the northern Lebanese highlands to two of the country's most breathtaking natural landscapes — before descending to the Phoenician coast for lunch in one of Lebanon's most charming seaside towns. The centrepiece of the day is the Baatara Gorge Waterfall near Tannourine — a 255-metre waterfall that plunges through three successive natural limestone bridges, creating a scene so extraordinary it looks staged. Before Baatara, the tour stops at the mountain lakes of Aaqoura for photos and a gentle walk along the lakeshore. The day ends in Batroun — a Phoenician town founded over 3,000 years ago — for a relaxed lunch by the Mediterranean. Best experienced in spring when snowmelt makes the falls most powerful.

This private full-day out is packed with adventure, culture, and beauty where you and your guide explore several sites not far from Beirut.

Two of Lebanon's most historically rich cities — one day, entirely your own.

In Tripoli you will stand inside a Crusader citadel, step into a 14th-century Mamluk mosque built on the foundations of a Crusader church, wander ancient khans and hammams, and end at the colourful fishing port of El Mina. In Byblos you will explore a Crusader castle built from Phoenician stones, walk the ancient souk, and have lunch beside one of the oldest harbours in the world. No other group. No fixed pace.

The Bekaa Valley does not mess around. In a single day from Beirut you can walk through a ghost city abandoned by the Umayyad Caliphate 1,300 years ago, stand inside the greatest Roman temples ever built, and finish the afternoon drinking Lebanese wine in Roman cave cellars beneath one of the oldest wineries in the Middle East. Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and one very good wine tasting — all before dinner. Anjar is the hidden gem — the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant, built by Caliph Walid I and abandoned after just a few decades, its colonnaded streets and palace walls still standing in the middle of the Bekaa plain. Baalbek needs no introduction — the Temple of Bacchus alone is larger than the Parthenon. And Ksara rounds out the day with 2 kilometres of ancient Roman cave cellars and a tasting of their iconic wines.

Beirut is an ancient city with a modern soul, but poor street signage and a rambling layout can make it hard for first-timers to get a handle on it. See the city’s star attractions, including Pigeon Rocks, the Roman baths, Martyrs’ Square, the Al-Omari Mosque, St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, and the souks, admire the yachts in Zaitunay Bay, and discover where to head for nightlife on this private tour.
