Highly recommended trip to discover both cities in one day. Starting in Beirut, the vibrant capital, we immersed ourselves in its bustling streets, discovering a blend of modernity and ancient charm. Moving to Beiteddin, the journey took us to the splendid Beiteddin Palace, a masterpiece of Lebanese architecture nestled in the picturesque Chouf Mountains. The intricate mosaics, elegant courtyards, and lush gardens reflected the opulence of Lebanon's Ottoman era rulers, making it a highlight of the trip. Deir el Qamar enchanted with its well-preserved medieval architecture and tranquil atmosphere. Wandering through its narrow stone alleys, we explored ancient churches, traditional Lebanese houses. Throughout the tour, our guide Albert was patient, polite and shared insightful narratives, adding depth to each site's significance. this guided tour provided an unforgettable glimpse into Lebanon's past and present. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper understanding of Lebanese culture.

ThisI ended up being a solo tour with Rita. Seein Beirut, the history behind pigeon rock, the cathedral and the Beirut museum. How artifacts were found protected. In Beitteddine She explained the history in such a way I was able to piece together something I learned in another country and to find it began and ended in Lebanon. It was incredible.
