Private Byblos & Batroun Day Trip from Beirut | Coastal Tour

Two of Lebanon's most iconic coastal towns — one ancient, one buzzing — in a single private day from Beirut. Byblos is one of the oldest cities ever built, with 7,000 years of history packed into a single walk through a Crusader castle, a stone-paved souk, and an ancient fishing port that is still very much alive. Batroun is 3,000 years old and feels like it discovered craft beer and good vibes somewhere along the way — the perfect place to end the day with fresh seafood, a cold drink, and zero agenda. History in the morning, coastal hangout in the afternoon. Entirely private. Entirely your pace.

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.

Private Jeita Grotto, Dog River Inscriptions & Byblos Tour

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.

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.
