Highlights

Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Two completely different worlds. One private day from Beirut — with all entrance tickets included so there is nothing to think about except the experience itself.
Start your morning in Byblos — one of the oldest cities ever built, where a Crusader castle, Phoenician royal tombs, and Roman columns coexist within a single archaeological site inhabited for over 7,000 years. The early morning visit means you have the ancient stones almost entirely to yourself — the light is golden, the crowds have not arrived, and the city feels exactly as extraordinary as it is. Then head east through the Lebanese mountains into the Bekaa Valley and arrive at Baalbek — where the Temple of Bacchus alone is larger than the Parthenon, and the stones beneath the Temple of Jupiter are the heaviest ever used in construction in human history.
From the world's oldest city to the world's greatest Roman temples — all tickets included, all entirely private.

Itinerary

  • Beirut(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    8:30 AM — Departure from Beirut Your private guide and driver collect you from your Beirut hotel and head north along the coast — Byblos is 45 minutes away and best experienced early, before the day warms up and the crowds arrive.
  • Byblos Castle

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Arrive in Byblos in the morning quiet — the best possible time to experience a city this old. The Crusader castle was built in the 12th century from stones recycled from Phoenician temples and Roman buildings — you can read entire civilisations in its walls if you know what to look for. Inside, the archaeological site opens up like a layered book: Neolithic foundations from 5000 BC, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs carved into the bedrock, Persian-era remains, Roman colonnaded streets. Byblos gave the world its alphabet — the Phoenician script developed here became the foundation of Greek, Latin, Arabic, and every modern alphabet descended from them. Its name gave us the word Bible. Your guide reads every layer of this extraordinary site aloud.
  • Old Souk

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Leave the castle and step into the old souk — stone-paved lanes where Phoenician-inspired jewellery glints in workshop windows, antique dealers display centuries of accumulated finds, and the smell of fresh coffee drifts from doorways that have been open for generations. A short wander that captures the living, breathing character of a city that has never stopped being inhabited.
  • Stone of the Pregnant Woman

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Before entering the temples, stop at the ancient Roman quarry to see the Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a single limestone block 21 metres long and weighing an estimated 1,000 tonnes, still lying in the quarry where it was cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. The Romans planned to use stones even larger than this in their temple platform. Standing beside it, that fact becomes genuinely difficult to process.
  • Temples of Baalbek

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    The scale of Baalbek is something photographs simply cannot prepare you for. The Temple of Jupiter was built on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes — heavier than anything a modern crane can lift, moved and placed by Roman engineers using methods that still puzzle archaeologists today. Six of its original 54 columns still stand at 22 metres tall. The Temple of Bacchus — larger than the Parthenon and almost entirely intact — is the best-preserved Roman temple anywhere in the world. The circular Temple of Venus completes a complex that has stood at the crossroads of civilisations for two thousand years. Your guide brings every layer of Baalbek's story to life — from its origins as a Phoenician sacred site to its transformation into Rome's greatest eastern sanctuary.
  • Baalbeck

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    Lunch in Baalbek — optional Stop for lunch at one of Baalbek's local restaurants before the drive back — hearty Bekaa Valley mezze, grilled meats, and fresh flatbread in a town that has been feeding travellers for two thousand years. A fitting pause before the journey home.
  • Beirut(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    Return to Beirut — approx. 5:30–6:00 PM Your guide and driver bring you back to Beirut along the Damascus highway with drop-off at your hotel — completing a day that moved from the world's oldest city to the world's greatest Roman temples, with every door already open and every ticket already paid.
