Overview
One tour, three completely different versions of Lebanon. The morning is Beirut — seafront, downtown landmarks, a mosque and cathedral sharing the same square, Roman baths in the middle of a rebuilt city, and the deliberately unrepaired Civil War facade that tells you more about this country than a week of reading. The afternoon is the Chouf Mountains — Beiteddine Palace, one of the finest 19th-century palaces in the Arab world, and Deir el Qamar, Lebanon's first capital and one of the best-preserved Ottoman villages in the country. Lunch included in Deir el Qamar. One guide connects it all.
This is the tour that answers the question most first-time visitors ask on day one: how do I see as much of Lebanon as possible in a single day without it feeling rushed? The answer is this itinerary, this guide, and a group of no more than twelve.

Deir el QamarDeir el Qamar — Lebanon's first capital, still going Meaning "Monastery of the Moon" — a honey-stone Ottoman village that served as Lebanon's first capital under the Ma'an dynasty and remains one of the most perfectly preserved historic villages in the country. The cobblestone square is framed by 17th and 18th-century mansions. A mosque and a church stand metres apart — four centuries of coexistence in a single hillside view.
