• Beirut - 9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut
  An experienced English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel in Beirut and travel north along the Mediterranean coastal highway. The first stop is just 20 minutes away at the Dog River canyon.
• Nahr El Kalb - At the Dog River canyon, where the coastal road narrows between cliffs and the sea, the limestone walls have served as the world’s oldest continuously updated archive of military history for over three thousand years. Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II carved his victory inscription here in 1274 BC after the Battle of Kadesh — the earliest entry in what became a remarkable 3,000-year tradition. Assyrian King Esarhaddon followed in 671 BC. Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius added his own record. French General Gouraud marked the creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920. The Lebanese Republic continued the tradition — recording independence, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the departure of Syrian troops in inscriptions that bring the archive right up to the 21st century. No single stretch of rock in the world records the passage of so many civilizations across so many centuries. Your driver brings each inscription and its story to life.
• Jeita Grotto - From ancient inscriptions on the cliff face above ground, descend into one of the most spectacular cave systems beneath the ground — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature competition. Two interconnected limestone caves stretch over 9 kilometers beneath the Lebanese mountains — the upper cave explored on foot through a soaring cathedral of stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 meters tall, and the lower cave navigated by silent electric boat along an underground river through chambers of extraordinary natural beauty that took millions of years to form.
• Téléferique Harissa - Board the famous Harissa Téléférique at the Jounieh seafront and ride 650 meters above sea level to the mountain sanctuary — the aerial views over Jounieh Bay, the sparkling Mediterranean coastline, and the Lebanese mountain ranges on the ascent are among the most spectacular in Lebanon. The cable car ride itself is one of the most photographed experiences in the country.
• The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon - At the mountaintop, stand before the iconic bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon — 8.5 meters tall at 650 meters above sea level, arms outstretched toward the Mediterranean below. Surrounded by the Maronite Basilica and neighboring churches, this is one of the most recognized and most visited religious monuments in the entire Middle East — a place of pilgrimage for Christians and a landmark of extraordinary symbolic power for all Lebanese.
• Byblos Castle - Arrive in Byblos — continuously inhabited for over 7,000 years, one of the oldest cities on earth, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 12th-century Crusader castle was built from recycled Phoenician and Roman stones and contains within its walls Neolithic settlements, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs, and Roman colonnaded streets — all visible in a single site. Byblos gave the world its alphabet and its name gave us the word Bible. Your driver brings 7,000 years of history to life with the depth and detail that only a knowledgeable local can provide.
• Old Souk - Wander the stone-paved old souk — artisan workshops, antique dealers, and Phoenician-inspired jewelry — before strolling to the ancient fishing harbor, one of the oldest ports in the world still in daily use. The colorful boats, medieval walls, and Mediterranean views make this the most photogenic corner of Byblos and the natural setting for lunch.
• Byblos - Lunch in Byblos — optional
  Enjoy a relaxed lunch at one of Byblos’s waterfront restaurants — fresh Lebanese mezze, grilled fish, and seafood overlooking the ancient fishing port with the medieval city walls as your backdrop. One of the most memorable lunch settings in Lebanon.
• Beirut - Return to Beirut — approx. 5:00–6:00 PM
  Scenic coastal drive back to Beirut with drop-off at your hotel — completing a day that moved from ancient cliff inscriptions to underground caves, from a mountaintop shrine to one of the oldest cities on earth.
