(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Bekaa ValleyPass-by Only
On this history-rich excursion, we travel east to the ancient city of Baalbek driving along the country’s prime agricultural region, the Bekaa Valley and its fertile soil, a huge multi-colored patchwork of fields, vines and villages, nestled between Mount Lebanon to the west and the Anti-Lebanon mountains to the east.
Temples of Baalbek
We explore the spectacular Roman temples of Baalbek-Heliopolis dedicated to Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus, which makes up the largest and best-preserved Roman architecture left around. The Jupiter temple isn't just the largest Roman temple in the world. The granite and limestone pillars themselves are among the largest archaeologists have ever seen. The six Corinthian columns which remain of 54 columns - each 20 meters tall and 2.5 meters in diameter - are said to be the world's largest.
Chateau Ksara
This tour continues with a visit to Ksara Winery, a 19th-century winery established by Jesuit priests and the oldest of its kind in Lebanon. We will learn about winemaking as we visit its vineyards and cellars, and then treat our taste buds to a sampling of world-famous dry wines.
