-
Aaqoura Lakes — alpine lakes in the Lebanese mountains Arrive at the alpine lakes above Aaqoura — a cluster of natural mountain lakes sitting high in the Lebanese interior, accessible year-round and almost entirely unknown to international visitors. The combination of mountain scenery, clear water, and the complete absence of tourist infrastructure is precisely what makes this stop worth the drive. Your driver covers the geography and ecology of the Aaqoura valley throughout the visit. Multiple photo stops at the best viewpoints.
-
Baatara Gorge WaterfallBaatara Gorge Waterfall — nothing prepares you for this A path through pine forest leads to a viewing platform at the rim of a natural limestone sinkhole — and there, 255 metres below, a waterfall drops through three natural stone bridges carved by millions of years of erosion, disappearing into a cavern at the bottom. The Baatara Gorge is one of the most extraordinary geological formations in the Middle East — the waterfall feeds an underground river that surfaces kilometres away, and the entire structure was shaped by water alone. Best visited between February and May when the flow is at its strongest, but visually spectacular year-round. Your driver covers the geological story throughout. The one-hour hike down to the gorge rim and back is easy terrain and suitable for all fitness levels.
-
DoumaDrive to Douma — a beautifully preserved Ottoman village in the Batroun district and one of the UNWTO Best Tourism Villages 2023 — a global recognition awarded to villages that lead in preserving rural landscapes, cultural diversity, local values, and culinary traditions. The recognition is well earned. Stone-paved streets wind between 18th and 19th-century stone mansions with arched windows and red-tiled roofs that have barely changed in two centuries. No souvenir shops, no tourist infrastructure — just a remarkably intact traditional Lebanese village that rewards anyone who makes the effort to find it. Your driver walks the group through the main streets and points out the architectural and historical details that make Douma one of the finest examples of traditional Lebanese mountain architecture anywhere in the country.
-
DoumaLunch in Douma — optional Local Lebanese mountain mezze at one of Douma's traditional restaurants — fresh bread, grilled meats, mountain air. Optional and at your own expense. Given the setting, it is a stop worth making.
- Return to Beirut — approx. 5:30–6:30 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel. Alpine lakes, a 255-metre waterfall through natural stone bridges, and one of Lebanon's most intact Ottoman villages — the Lebanese mountain interior done properly. (pass by)
