5.0(1)8 hFree cancellationBy Beirut Daily Tours

About this activity

Seasonal tour — available May 1 to October 31 only. The high mountain road connecting the Cedars of God to Baalbek closes each winter — making this combination impossible for six months of the year and genuinely special for the six it runs.

This is the private version of Lebanon's most dramatic seasonal day trip — the route that uses a mountain road open only in summer to connect three destinations that cannot be reached together any other way. A UNESCO World Heritage gorge in the morning. An easy hike through ancient cedar trees at 2,000 metres. A mountain crossing that only opens in May. The greatest Roman temples on earth in the afternoon — with an expert local guide who knows every stone.

Private vehicle and knowledgeable driver throughout — your pace, your schedule, nobody else's itinerary. Expert local guide joins at Baalbek. Entrance tickets payable on site. Optional lunch in Baalbek on the return.
