Private Qadisha Valley, Gibran Museum & Cedars Hike | From Beirut

Lebanon's north rewards the traveler who goes beyond the standard itinerary — and this private day trip does exactly that. Four stops in the same mountain valley, each completely different from the last: a UNESCO World Heritage gorge, the museum and tomb of the author whose book has sold 100 million copies, an ancient cedar grove at 2,000 metres, and a 12th-century monastery carved directly into a cliff face that houses the first printing press ever used in the Middle East. Private vehicle and knowledgeable English-speaking driver throughout — your pace, no group schedule, nobody else's timing. Your driver covers the key facts and stories at every stop. Entrance tickets and optional lunch payable on site.
