The Bekaa Valley's three most compelling historical destinations — an abandoned Umayyad city, the greatest Roman temples ever built, and Lebanon's oldest winery — covered in one guided day from Beirut with a maximum of seven people. The same itinerary as the small-group version, with a guide who can give each person genuine individual attention at sites where the history runs deep and the questions always come.

Anjar: the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant — built by Caliph Walid I and abandoned within decades, never rebuilt. Baalbek: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon. The Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a 1,000-tonne quarry block cut 2,000 years ago and never moved — frames the scale before you enter. Ksara: 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars beneath Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857. Lunch fully included.
