Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch

DJ_W, Feb 2026

A great mix of experiences!

This was an excellent tour and a great mix of different things, natural wonders, historical site and religious monuments and views. Albert was excellent in timeliness, knowledge and he was so personable. I was torn between the mountains or this tour, and one of my Lebanese friends said that I had to do the grotto, so I did. One other thing I loved was that Albert would give us some historical and cultural background and would the. Give us, time on our own. Highly recommend!

Beirut

Know before you go

Byblos is a must for history buffs, Instagrammers, photographers, and party people.
Many Byblos beaches are private, with an entrance charge. Anything goes in fashion terms, from bikinis to burkinis, although topless bathing is a no-no.
Cobbled streets, steps, and steep inclines make Byblos a challenging destination for travelers who use wheelchairs.
