The Qadisha Valley comprises all the caves, monasteries, and cultivated terraces associated with activities from a very early phase of Christianity.

It also includes his furniture and belongings from his studio in New York City and his private manuscripts.

The Cedars of God - The Forest of the Cedars of God, with its 375 trees, is the last remnant of ancient forests and one of the rare sites where the Cedars still grow.

Inside, it contains a world of reception rooms, stained-glass windows, rare mosaic tiles, and centuries-old stables. The Debbane Palace marks the only example of an Ottoman palace within the city walls of urban Lebanon.

Basilica of Our Lady of Mantara - بازيليك سيدة المنطرة - Visit the shrine of Our Lady of Mantara at Maghdouche. The main place of the sanctuary is a natural cave, where, according to tradition, Virgin Mary waited for her son Jesus Christ while he was preaching in Sidon, a pagan Phoenician town where Jewish women could not go. That is why it was called Mantara, which means “awaiting.”

Tyre - Tyre is an ancient Phoenician port city and is the home of Elissar, the Phoenician princess who founded Carthage. It was once famous worldwide for its purple dye made from murex sea snails. Two main archaeological sites – “Al-Bass” and “Al-Mina” – testify to its historical significance. It has a wonderful seaside location and is a popular holiday destination with excellent and clean beaches. The town’s foundations date back to approximately 2750 BC, after which it was ruled by the Egyptians and then the famous King Hiram, under whom it prospered. Later, it was colonized variously by the Assyrians, Neo-Babylonians, Greeks, Seleucids, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamluks, and Ottomans.

Al-Bass Archaeological Site - Al Bass Archaeological Site is the largest and best-preserved example of a Roman Hippodrome. The sector of Tyre El Bass, constituting the principal entrance of the town in ancient times, comprises the remains of the necropolis on either side of a wide monumental causeway dominated by a Roman triumphal arch dating from the 2nd century AD. Among the other vestiges are an aqueduct and the hippodrome of the 2nd century, one of the largest in the Roman world. The site contains a Necropolis with several hundred well-preserved sarcophagi, an intact Roman road, an aqueduct, and a monumental arch.

Tyre Hippodrome - The Tyre Hippodrome is a UNESCO World Heritage site in the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, dating back to the second century A.D. The place is considered one of the largest and best-preserved Roman hippodromes of its type in the Roman world.

Ruins of Tyre - Necropolis - Discovered in 1962, the necropolis consists of hundreds of stone and marble sarcophagi from the Roman and Byzantine eras.
