- Temples of Baalbek - The Roman ruins of Baalbek, Lebanon’s most significant Roman treasure, are considered one of the wonders of the ancient world. These are the largest and most majestic Roman temples ever constructed and are among the best preserved.
- Sayyida Khawla Shrine - The Mosque of Sayyida Khawla in Baalbek, Lebanon, is built on the site where Sayyida Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, is believed to be buried. The people of Baalbek hold that when the caravan of Karbala captives passed through Baalbek, Imam al-Hussein’s daughter, Khawla, passed away and was interred there.
- Stone of the Pregnant Woman - The Stone of the Pregnant Woman is a crafted Roman monolith located in Baalbek, Lebanon. Alongside another ancient stone block nearby, it ranks among the largest monoliths ever quarried. These two building blocks were likely intended for the nearby Roman temple complex and are noted for their unparalleled monolithic gigantism in antiquity.
- Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar - The Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar provide remarkable insight into the Umayyad civilization and serve as an excellent example of an inland commercial center, situated at the crossroads of two significant routes: one from Beirut to Damascus and the other crossing the Bekaa from Homs to Tiberias. Archaeologists only discovered this ancient city’s site in the late 1940s. The ruins of Aanjar include the walls of the Umayyad palace, harems, a mosque, the grand palace of the Caliph, thermal baths, and numerous pillars featuring elements of Roman architectural style.
- Chateau Ksara - Château Ksara is a winery located in the Beqaa Valley, Lebanon. Established in 1857 by Jesuit priests, Château Ksara pioneered the first dry wine in Lebanon. The winery produces approximately 3 million bottles annually, with its wines being exported to over 40 countries.

Excellent service & company! - We had a great experience with Beirut Airport Transfer - we did two tours with them, this and the half day one for Byblos. I booked both with a couple of day's notice with the company, who were super easy to coordinate with via Whatsapp; they also followed up after every trip to get our feedback and ensure everything went well. On both trips, we had Kasem, our fantastic driver & guide, who was super charming and great company to travel with. The pickup and drop off was on time for both trips and the guides they arranged for Baalbek and Byblos were absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend the company and will definitely be using them on future trips.
