Beirut, Beiteddine & Deir el Qamar Small-Group Tour | Lunch Incl.

One tour, three completely different versions of Lebanon. The morning is Beirut — seafront, downtown landmarks, a mosque and cathedral sharing the same square, Roman baths in the middle of a rebuilt city, and the deliberately unrepaired Civil War facade that tells you more about this country than a week of reading. The afternoon is the Chouf Mountains — Beiteddine Palace, one of the finest 19th-century palaces in the Arab world, and Deir el Qamar, Lebanon's first capital and one of the best-preserved Ottoman villages in the country. Lunch included in Deir el Qamar. One guide connects it all. This is the tour that answers the question most first-time visitors ask on day one: how do I see as much of Lebanon as possible in a single day without it feeling rushed? The answer is this itinerary, this guide, and a group of no more than twelve.
