Private Beiteddine, Moussa Castle, Deir el Qamar & Sidon Tour

This is one of our most popular and most rewarding full-day tours — and it is easy to see why. In a single comfortable day from Beirut, you will visit four completely different destinations that together give you a wonderfully complete picture of Lebanon's history, culture, and natural beauty. Begin in the Chouf Mountains at Beiteddine Palace — one of the most magnificent palaces in the Arab world. Stop at the remarkable Moussa Castle — a medieval fortress hand-built stone by stone by one determined Lebanese man over sixty years. Explore the perfectly preserved Ottoman village of Deir el Qamar — Lebanon's first capital. Then descend to the ancient coastal city of Sidon — with its Crusader sea castle, medieval souks, the world's only soap museum, and a grand Silk Road caravanserai. Your knowledgeable driver is with you throughout, sharing the stories and history of every stop along the way
