The Cedars of GodStanding as sentinels of Lebanon's enduring resilience, the Cedars of God forest is a testament to nature's majesty. These ancient cedar trees, some dating back thousands of years, have long been revered for their strength and symbolism. Protected as a national emblem, the forest offers visitors a glimpse into Lebanon's storied past while inspiring awe with its towering canopies and fragrant air, making it a cherished symbol of the nation's natural heritage.

Temples of BaalbekIn the heart of the Beqaa Valley, the temples of Baalbek stand as monumental tributes to ancient civilizations. Among the most impressive Roman ruins in the world, the temples of Jupiter, Bacchus, and Venus evoke the grandeur of a bygone era. From colossal stone columns to intricately carved reliefs, these architectural marvels bear witness to Baalbek's significance as a center of worship and cultural exchange, inviting visitors to marvel at their timeless beauty and explore the mysteries of the past.

The Stone of the Pregnant Woman is a worked Roman monolith in Baalbek, Lebanon. Together with another ancient stone block nearby, it is among the largest monoliths ever quarried. The two building blocks were presumably intended for the nearby Roman temple complex, and are characterized by a monolithic gigantism that was unparalleled in antiquity.
