According to the Maronite Heritage web site, "the legend says that there was a Druze Emir in Baakline looking at the hill of Dar El Kamar. He saw a light coming out of the hill so he gathered his soldiers and ordered them to go in the morning and dig in the land. He said to them: 'If you find an Islamic symbol, build a mosque. If you find a Christian symbol, build a church." In the morning, the soldiers went and found a rock with a cross on it and under the cross there was the moon and venus. That was the sign that in the distant past there was a temple dedicated to the moon and venus and later it became a church.

Our tours with Beirut daily tours are excellent from Begining to end. Our driver Moe was very friendly and with very good knowledge. And he was doing his best to ensure that we were very happy and satisfied.

This is the first time to come across a Viator tour that the guide is not performing as a tour guide. He is just a driver. No explanation of the tour sites at all. He simply dropped us off and let us walk alone in the tour sites. Apparently we know the places more than him. The only time he led us to walk through the Saida’s old souk but without any explanation. And that’s all this guide had done for the whole day tour!!!!!!! We don’t know whether Viator has ever scrutinized the quality of the local operator. It’s a total disappointment!!!!
