Qadisha, Cedars Hike & Baalbek Small-Group Tour | May–Oct Only

This is Lebanon's most spectacular seasonal day tour — and one of the most rewarding journeys you can make in the entire country. Available only from May to October, this small-group guided tour takes you from a cliff-face monastery in the Qadisha Valley, up through the ancient Cedars of God at 2,000 metres, and over a breathtaking mountain road that opens each May to bring you down into the Bekaa Valley and the greatest Roman temples on earth at Baalbek. Begin at the Monastery of Kozhaya — carved into the limestone cliff face of the Qadisha Valley & home to the first printing press ever used in the Middle East. Walk among thousand-year-old cedar trees on an easy one-hour guided hike. Cross the mountain pass via one of the most scenic drives in Lebanon. Stand inside Baalbek — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon. Lunch in Baalbek is fully included. Your professional guide brings every extraordinary stop to life warmly throughout the day.
