Top Beirut Bus Tours

This small-group tour takes you to some of Lebanon’s most historic and naturally beautiful areas. You’ll learn about Christian monasteries in Qadisha Valley, see the Forest of the Cedars of God, learn its connection to the Bible, and also visit the Glbran Museum in Bcharre. Transportation, an English speaking driver, and lunch will all be included in this tour.

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.

Soak up the sights of the Qadisha Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, without risking life and limb at the wheel. Exploring with a driver/guide in a group capped at 15 travelers, visit pretty Bcharré village and the Gibran Museum, which honors a Lebanese poet, and see the ancient trees known as the Cedars of God. Your door-to-door package includes a restaurant lunch.

Some days in Lebanon stay with you long after you leave. This is one of them. On this small-group tour from Beirut — maximum 15 people — you will experience three of the country's most iconic and emotionally resonant destinations in a single day, each one completely different, each one unforgettable in its own way. You will go underground at Jeita Grotto — gliding silently by boat through a cathedral of ancient rock formations that took millions of years to create. You will rise above the Mediterranean at Harissa — riding the cable car to a mountaintop shrine where the view alone is worth the journey. And you will walk through 7,000 years of history in Byblos — an ancient Phoenician city where the past is not behind glass in a museum but alive beneath your feet, in the stones of the streets, and in the fishermen still working the oldest harbour in the world.

This is the no-frills version of the Sidon, Tyre & Maghdouche day trip — same three destinations, same small group of maximum 12, but without a professional guide and without included tickets or lunch. The most affordable way to cover south Lebanon's 5,000 years of history in a single day from Beirut. South Lebanon is the part of the country most first-time visitors skip — and the part experienced Lebanon travelers consistently say deserves more time. Sidon: a 13th-century Crusader sea castle, the world's only olive oil soap museum, a living medieval souk, and a Silk Road caravanserai. Tyre: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Al-Bass complex — triumphal arch, colonnaded necropolis street, and a Roman hippodrome built for 20,000 spectators. Maghdouché: the hilltop sanctuary of Our Lady of Mantara, revered by Christians and Muslims for two millennia. Your knowledgeable driver covers the key facts at each stop. You explore at your own pace.

Many of Lebanon’s top sights are spread throughout the country, making them difficult to reach without your own transportation. Tick off three popular attractions in a single day—Jeita Grotto, the ruins of Byblos, and the Statue of Our Lady of Lebanon—during this full-day, small-group excursion. Departing from Beirut, it includes door-to-door hotel transfers.

Swap the bustle of the capital for the serene landscapes of Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley region during this private, half-day excursion to Baalbek. Relax with front-door pickup and drop-off from any location in Beirut. Travel with an English-speaking driver in an air-conditioned private vehicle. Explore the millennia-old, UNESCO-protected Roman temple complex with your family, friends, or travel companions—without the rush of a guided group visit.

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 several of Lebanon’s top natural and cultural attractions during this private full-day tour.
