Three of the Chouf Mountains' most compelling stops in one private day — and a combination that very few Viator listings attempt. Most Chouf day trips are palace-and-village. This one adds Lebanon's largest nature reserve to the middle of the day, making it the only itinerary that covers a 19th-century presidential palace, a UNESCO biosphere cedar forest, and Lebanon's first capital in a single outing.
Beiteddine Palace — built by Emir Bashir II, today Lebanon's official presidential summer residence, with a Byzantine mosaic museum beneath it that most visitors walk straight past. The Barouk Cedar Reserve — part of the Shouf Biosphere, Lebanon's largest protected natural area covering over 50,000 hectares, with ancient cedar trees descended from the forests that built Phoenician ships. Deir el Qamar — Lebanon's first capital, a honey-stone Ottoman village where a mosque and a church have shared the same hillside for four centuries. Private vehicle and knowledgeable driver throughout.

5.00Excellent agency for excursions. There were 5 days in which each day I had a private excursion to a different place. Before traveling, I contacted them and they always answered my emails and advised me on what could and could not be done. Once I arrived in Beirut, they fulfilled everything we had discussed and arranged. The guides Mohamed and Nada were very punctual, very well prepared and with very good explanations. In addition, they advised me on which places I could go alone after the excursions. I recommend Beirut daily tours 100%
Perfect journey in Chouf
