Highlights

What sets this tour apart is its perfect balance of nature, culture, and coastal charm, thoughtfully combined into one smooth day experience. You’ll explore the stunning landscapes of Aaqoura Lakes and the iconic Baatara Gorge Waterfall, and wander through the historic old souk and port of Batroun. Travelers benefit from comfortable hotel pickup, a well-paced itinerary, and local insight throughout the journey. Seasonal transparency also sets this tour apart: please note that the Aaqoura Lakes and Baatara Gorge Waterfall are typically dry between June and November, and access to the very top viewpoints of Aaqoura may be limited between January and April due to snow weather conditions. This honesty ensures clear expectations and a genuinely enjoyable experience. NOTE: BAATARA WATERFALL & AAQOURA LAKES MIGHT BE DRIED DURING THE SUMMER TIMES.

About Beirut

Beirut is Lebanon's capital on a Mediterranean headland, a Phoenician port city with Roman remains and mountains rising close behind.

Beirut juts into the Mediterranean on a rocky headland, with the snow-streaked peaks of Mount Lebanon rising behind. Founded by the Phoenicians, it became the Roman city of Berytus, famed for its school of law, and the remains of Roman baths lie in the city centre. The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, with its blue domes, and the nearby churches of St George show the mix of faiths.

Top-ranked sights in Beirut: Jeita Grotto, Our Lady of Lebanon (Notre Dame du Liban), Byblos (Jbeil).
