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.

This is one of those places where the photos do not prepare you. Nothing does. You just have to go.
