Qadisha Valley, Cedars & Baalbek Small-Group Tour | May–Oct
This is Lebanon's most dramatic one-day journey — and it only exists for six months of the year. Beginning deep in the Qadisha Valley at one of Lebanon's oldest cliff-face monasteries, ascending through UNESCO World Heritage landscapes to the ancient Cedars of God at 2,000 metres, then crossing the high mountain pass into the Bekaa Valley to stand inside the greatest Roman temple complex on earth — all with tickets and lunch included, nothing extra to pay. The route itself is the experience. The mountain road that opens each May — crossing from the cedar forests of the north directly over the Lebanese mountain range into the Bekaa toward Baalbek — is one of the most spectacular drives in the Middle East, and one that the vast majority of Lebanon visitors never get to take. This small-group tour puts you on it, with a professional guide bringing every stop fully to life.
