Private Beiteddine, Moussa Castle & Deir el Qamar | Chouf Tour

Looking for a wonderful Chouf Mountains experience that leaves your evening completely free? This comfortable six-hour private tour from Beirut visits three of the most impressive and most enjoyable attractions in the Lebanese mountains — and has you back at your hotel by mid-afternoon. Beiteddine Palace is one of the finest 19th-century palaces in the Arab world — beautifully decorated courtyards, carved cedar ceilings, and an underground Byzantine mosaic museum that surprises and delights every visitor. Moussa Castle is the stop that nobody expects and everybody loves — a real medieval fortress hand-built stone by stone by one extraordinary Lebanese man, filled with charming life-size wax figures. And Deir el Qamar — Lebanon's first capital — is a honey-stone village of cobblestone squares, a mosque and church side by side, and lovely mountain views. All three within a short, comfortable drive of each other — and with an optional mountain lunch in Deir el Qamar before heading home.
