This is one of the most extraordinary day tours in Lebanon — and it only exists for six months of the year. The secret is a high-altitude mountain road that opens each May, crossing from the Cedars of God above Bcharre directly over the Lebanese mountain range into the Bekaa Valley toward Baalbek. When this road opens, it becomes possible to combine three of Lebanon's greatest UNESCO-linked destinations in a single private day from Beirut — something no winter itinerary can replicate.

The day begins at the Qadisha Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage gorge of breathtaking scale — before a walk among the ancient Cedars of God at 2,000 metres above sea level. The mountain road then carries you east over the high passes into the Bekaa Valley, with a stop at the Stone of the Pregnant Woman before arriving at Baalbek — home to the greatest Roman temple complex on earth.
