There are Roman ruins — and then there is Baalbek. The temple complex at Baalbek in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley is not merely the best-preserved Roman site in the Middle East — it is arguably the most awe-inspiring Roman construction anywhere on earth. The Temple of Jupiter alone was built on a platform of stones so massive that no crane in the modern world can lift them. The Temple of Bacchus, still standing almost entirely intact, is larger than the Parthenon in Athens. Standing inside these temples, you do not feel like a tourist looking at ancient ruins. You feel genuinely small.
This private day tour from Beirut takes you directly to Baalbek with a knowledgeable English-speaking driver who brings the history, mythology, and extraordinary engineering of this UNESCO World Heritage Site to life. On the way you stop at the legendary Stone of the Pregnant Woman, before spending the heart of the day exploring the full temple complex at your own unhurried pace.

Beirut
9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut Your private English-speaking driver collects you from your Beirut hotel and heads east, climbing through the Lebanese mountains on the Damascus highway before descending into the Bekaa Valley — one of the most dramatic and scenic drives in Lebanon, with the valley floor opening up between two mountain ranges as you approach Baalbek.
Before reaching the temples, stop at the ancient Roman quarry on the edge of Baalbek to see the Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a single block of limestone measuring 21 metres long and weighing an estimated 1,000 tonnes, still lying in the quarry where it was cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. It is one of the heaviest objects ever worked by human hands in the ancient world. Standing beside it — and realising the Romans cut and planned to move stones even larger than this — is one of the most genuinely mind-bending experiences in all of Lebanon. Your driver explains the engineering theories and the enduring mysteries surrounding how the Romans intended to transport it.

5.00Today with Lebanon Tours and travel fantastic excursion to Baalbek done. At first I was a bit hesitant by the location of this world wonder but because of our fantastic guide and driver Albert this quickly faded into the background. He knows the local situation and they take no risks with their guests. Albert has a lot of knowledge about Lebanon , history , geopolitics and speaks fantastic English . In Baalbek he arranged for us a local guide what a living history book was. All in all an unforgettable day excursion and can highly recommend this company . Multi-day trips can also be arranged, who knows for a next time.
