Lebanon

Arrival to Beirut International Airport and transferred to your choice of hotel. Overnight at the hotel .

Beirut is a city with a venerable past, eminent present and bright future. With its million inhabitants, Beirut conveys a sense of life and energy that is immediately apparent. This dynamism is echoed by the Capital's geographical position: a great promontory jutting into the blue sea with dramatic mountains rising behind it. You will pass by the Cornish, have a view over the Pigeon's Grotto, visit downtown Beirut, which is full of newly found archaeological sites, recently renovated typical Lebanese houses, churches and mosques from Crusader and Muslim periods. You will also visit the National Museum of Beirut which has an interesting collection of ancient pieces, covering about 60 centuries of history, and which is considered to be an important historical treasure house, illustrating Lebanon's long history. Evening free at leisure and overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast departure to Baalbeck , the largest and most noble Roman temple ever built. It is towering high above the Bekaa plain and its monumental proportions are a sign of the power and wealth of Imperial Rome. The temple is also considered as one of Lebanon's greatest Roman treasures among the wonders of the ancient world. The Greeks identified the God of Baalbeck with the Sun God and the city is called Heliopolis or City of the Sun. The temple was never built so some huge construction from the Hellenistic project can still be seen. You will stop for lunch before continuing your tour to Ksara for some delightful tasting at its famous winery. Next you will visit Anjar, which dates back to the Umayyad-period and has been excavated only 40 years ago. Here you will be able to get a clear idea of what the town looked like when the Damascus-based Umayyad Caliphs ruled the area. Overnight at the hotel.

Visit the famous Jeita Grottoes, with its labyrinth of galleries. As well as the statue of the Lady of Lebanon in Harissa, from where you will have a beautiful view of Jounieh's bay.

After breakfast, transfer to Beirut International Airport for departure flight .
