- 8:30 AM — Departure from Beirut Your guide meets the group at your hotel and heads east on the Damascus highway. With a maximum of seven people, the briefing is quick and personal — everyone knows the plan before the first stop. (pass by)
-
Umayyad Ruins of AanjarAnjar — the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant Built in the early 8th century by Caliph Walid I and abandoned within decades — colonnaded streets, a grand palace with over 40 towers, a mosque, and bathhouses still standing in the Bekaa plain. Most visitors to Lebanon miss this entirely. With a group of seven, your guide can take the time to walk the full site properly and answer the questions that always arise here — about Umayyad city-planning, the speed of construction, and why the city was abandoned so quickly after it was built.
-
Stone of the Pregnant Woman — setting the scale A 1,000-tonne limestone block, 21 metres long, cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. Still lying in the quarry exactly where it was abandoned. Your guide explains the engineering logic — and why understanding this block makes what you are about to see at the temples genuinely comprehensible rather than simply overwhelming.
-
Baalbek TempleBaalbek Temple Complex — the greatest Roman temples ever built The Temple of Jupiter on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes. The Temple of Bacchus — larger than the Parthenon, almost entirely intact, the best-preserved Roman temple in the world. The Temple of Venus completing a complex that took three centuries to construct. With seven people, your guide can move at the group's pace — spending more time at the structures that generate the most questions and adjusting the narrative to match the group's interests, whether architectural, historical, or religious.
-
BaalbeckLunch in Baalbek or Zahle — included Lebanese mezze and grilled meats — either in Baalbek or at a riverside restaurant in Zahle, Lebanon's celebrated food capital, depending on the group's preference. With seven people the decision is easy and the table is the right size. Fully included.
-
Chateau KsaraChateau Ksara — Roman caves, Lebanese wine, founded 1857 Lebanon's oldest winery — founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 — with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars where wine ages at a naturally constant temperature. The cave tour connects directly to the Roman history of the morning — the same civilisation, the same valley, a different kind of legacy. With a group of seven, the tasting moves at the group's pace — your guide frames the wines within the Bekaa Valley's 6,000-year winemaking history throughout.
- Return to Beirut — approx. 6:00–7:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel — an Umayyad ghost city, the world's greatest Roman temples, and 2 kilometres of ancient wine caves. Same itinerary as the small-group version. More attention at every stop (pass by)
