Kozhaya, Cedars Hike & Baalbek Small-Group | May–Oct · Lunch Incl

This is the tour that uses Lebanon's summer mountain road to connect three destinations that cannot be reached together any other way. Start at a 12th-century monastery carved into the Qadisha Valley cliff face — the one with the first printing press ever used in the Middle East inside it. Hike through the Cedars of God at 2,000 metres. Cross the mountain pass that only opens in May. Arrive at Baalbek — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the greatest Roman temples on earth. Lunch included. Guide throughout. One road, one season, one extraordinary day. If you are visiting Lebanon between May and October and you only book one tour, the argument for making it this one is strong.
