Enjoy your morning in Beirut at your own pace — then let the afternoon take you somewhere extraordinary. This small-group tour departs at 11:30 AM and heads into the Chouf Mountains to experience two of Lebanon's most beautiful and historically significant destinations: Beiteddine Palace and the timeless village of Deir el Qamar.
Walk through the grand courtyards and ornate chambers of Beiteddine — one of the finest 19th-century palaces in the Arab world, built by Emir Bashir II and home to a remarkable underground collection of Byzantine mosaics. Then descend into Deir el Qamar — Lebanon's first capital, where honey-stone mansions, a 17th-century mosque, and a hilltop church all share the same cobblestone square in one of the most perfectly preserved Ottoman villages in the country.

Beirut
11:30 AM — Hotel pickup, Beirut Your guide meets you at your Beirut hotel after a relaxed morning in the city. The drive southeast into the Chouf Mountains takes approximately 45 minutes — pine-forested ridges rising steeply above the coastal plain as you climb toward Beiteddine.
Step into one of the most breathtaking palaces in the Arab world. Built over three decades in the early 19th century by Emir Bashir II — the ruler who brought Lebanon's warring factions under a single authority — Beiteddine is a masterwork of Lebanese craftsmanship. Three interconnected courtyards unfold before you, decorated with hand-cut geometric tilework, carved cedar-wood ceilings, and elaborately painted reception halls that once hosted diplomats, merchants, and Ottoman officials. Beneath the palace, an underground museum preserves the finest collection of Byzantine mosaics in Lebanon — floor panels of extraordinary colour and detail recovered from across the country. Today the palace serves as the official summer residence of the Lebanese President and hosts the internationally celebrated Beiteddine Art Festival. Your guide brings the full story of Emir Bashir — his alliances, his ambitions, and his legacy — to life within these remarkable walls.
