Highlights

Two of Lebanon's most historically rich and most rewarding cities — one wonderful full day from Beirut. This private tour takes you north to Tripoli — Lebanon's fascinating medieval second city — then back south to Byblos, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, for a beautifully balanced day of discovery, history, and coastal charm.
In Tripoli you will explore a commanding Crusader citadel, two magnificent Mamluk mosques, a wonderfully authentic medieval souk, a traditional soap factory, and the legendary Hallab 1881 pastry institution. In Byblos — continuously inhabited for over 7,000 years — a Crusader castle, a stone-paved ancient souk, and one of the most beautiful fishing ports in Lebanon await. Your knowledgeable driver is with you throughout the day, sharing the stories and history of every stop in a warm and engaging way. A truly special day that visitors of all ages and interests will treasure.
