Baalbek, Libanon Baalbek, is home to the Baalbek temple complex which includes two of the largest and grandest Roman temple ruins: the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple of Jupiter. It was inscribed in 1984 as an UNESCO World Heritage site.
This Phoenician city, where a triad of deities was worshipped, was known as Heliopolis during the Hellenistic period. It retained its religious function during Roman times, when the sanctuary of the Heliopolitan Jupiter attracted thousands of pilgrims. Baalbek, with its colossal structures, is one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee. 90 minutes
Temples of Baalbek, Baalbeck, Lebanon The complex of temples at Baalbek is located at the foot of the southwest slope of Anti-Lebanon, bordering the fertile plain of the Bekaa at an altitude of 1150 m. The city of Baalbek reached its apogee during Roman times. Its colossal constructions built over a period of more than two centuries, make it one of the most famous sanctuaries of the Roman world and a model of Imperial Roman architecture. Pilgrims thronged to the sanctuary to venerate the three deities, known under the name of the Romanized Triad of Heliopolis, an essentially Phoenician cult (Jupiter, Venus, and Bacchus). 90 minutes

This was an enjoyable as informative visit to 4 wonderful places - Anjar, Baalbek, Ksara caves and winery, and a great restaurant for lunch. The day was well paced and the group I was with was great. The guide Albert did an exceptional job of keeping everything moving in a low key way, and his commentaries as we traveled between places were really interesting, adding so much to what we passed. The on-site guides were fantastic too. I would easily recommend this tour!

Despite falling ill on a Saturday, Hassane graciously rescheduled our tour to Sunday, ensuring that we didn't miss the opportunity to explore this fascinating historical site. His efficiency and understanding made a challenging situation much more manageable.
When we finally arrived at Baalbek with Natasha as our guide, her passion and knowledge of the site were truly remarkable. She regaled us with captivating stories about the history, architecture, and mythology associated with Baalbek, transporting us back in time to the ancient Roman era. Her insights and anecdotes were enthralling, and we were in awe of her expertise (and at Anjar too!)
What truly touched us was Natasha's thoughtfulness and consideration for our health situation. She went out of her way to plan a special meal for us that accommodated our dietary restrictions due to illness. It was a small yet meaningful gesture that showed her exceptional care and attention to detail.
Natasha's professionalism, warmth, and understanding, along with Hassane's impeccable customer service, made our tour to Baalbek truly unforgettable. Despite the unexpected challenges we faced, their exceptional service and genuine care made us feel valued and appreciated as their guests, (and whoever we were messaging behind the scenes!)
Thank you, Natasha and Hassane, for a truly remarkable journey! Also Robert for the gum. You have no idea how much it helped!
