Top Lebanon Day Trips - page 5

Two of Lebanon's most historically rich cities — one day, entirely your own. This private full-day tour takes you north from Beirut to Tripoli, Lebanon's second city and one of the finest surviving medieval cities in the Arab world, before heading south to Byblos — one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth and a place where 7,000 years of history sit within a single walk. 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. Just you, your private English-speaking driver, and eight hours through three thousand years of Lebanese history.

Lebanon compresses thousands of years of history into a remarkably small stretch of coastline north of Beirut. This private day tour captures three of the most remarkable stops on that stretch — each one completely different, each one extraordinary in its own right. Begin at Nahr el Kalb — the Dog River canyon — where the limestone walls have served as the world's oldest billboard for over 3,000 years. Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings, Roman emperors, and French generals all carved victory inscriptions into these cliffs as they passed through on their conquests — creating an open-air archive of ancient military history that is unlike anything else on earth. Then descend into Jeita Grotto — one of the most spectacular cave systems in the world and a finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. End the day in Byblos — one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, where a Crusader castle, Phoenician royal tombs, and an ancient fishing port sit within a single walk.
