Overview

This is the no-frills version of the Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara day trip. same three iconic Bekaa destinations, same small group of maximum 12, but without a professional guide & without included tickets or lunch. The result is the most affordable way to visit all three on the same day from Beirut. Pay for exactly what you use, nothing more.
The Bekaa Valley covers three completely different chapters of the ancient world in a single day. Anjar: the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant, built by Caliph Walid I in the 8th century and abandoned within decades, one of the most underrated archaeological sites in the Middle East. Baalbek: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon and the Trilithon stones are the largest dressed stones in human history. Ksara: Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857, with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars beneath it. Your knowledgeable driver covers the key facts and stories at each stop.

Activity itinerary

Beirut (Pass by)

8:30 AM — Hotel pickup Your driver meets the group at your Beirut hotel and heads east on the Damascus highway — over the Lebanese mountains and into the Bekaa Valley. Anjar is about an hour away.

Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Anjar — the Umayyad city most tour groups drive straight past Built by Caliph Walid I in the early 8th century and abandoned within decades — colonnaded streets, a palace with over 40 towers, a mosque, and bathhouses all still standing in the Bekaa plain. The only surviving complete Umayyad palatial city in the Levant. Your driver covers the key historical facts at the entrance — you explore at your own pace inside.

Stone of the Pregnant Woman

  • 15m
Stone of the Pregnant Woman — scale check before the temples A single limestone block, 21 metres long, weighing 1,000 tonnes, cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. Your driver explains the engineering logic — and why standing next to it recalibrates your sense of what is waiting five minutes ahead.

Temples of Baalbek

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Baalbek Temple Complex — the greatest Roman temples on earth The Temple of Jupiter on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes. The Temple of Bacchus — larger than the Parthenon, almost entirely intact, the best-preserved Roman temple on earth. The Temple of Venus completing a complex that took three centuries to build. Your driver covers the key facts at the entrance. You explore the full site at your own pace — no group schedule, no rushing.

Zahle

  • 1h
Lunch in Baalbek or Zahle — optional Lebanese mezze in Baalbek or at the celebrated riverside terraces of Zahle. Optional and at your own expense. Your driver recommends the best options.

Chateau Ksara

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Chateau Ksara — Roman caves beneath Lebanon's oldest winery Lebanon's oldest winery — founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 above 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars where wine ages at a naturally constant temperature year-round. The cave tour connects directly back to the Roman world at Baalbek — same civilisation, same valley, different legacy. A tasting of Ksara's iconic Cabernet-Syrah blends, Blanc de Blancs, and Sunset Rosé closes the day. Your driver shares the storey of the estate throughout.

Beirut (Pass by)

Return to Beirut — approx. 6:00–7:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel. A Umayyad ghost city, the world's greatest Roman temples, and ancient wine caves — the Bekaa's three best stops at the most competitive price on this route.
