The only private tour that combines the Shouf Cedar Forest, the Baalbek temples, and Ksara winery — and the only version of this combination available year-round. Most cedar-to-Baalbek tours use the northern mountain road near Bcharre, which closes every winter. This tour uses the Shouf Cedars in Maasser el Shouf — Lebanon's largest nature reserve and a UNESCO-recognised biosphere — connected to the Bekaa Valley by a road that stays open in every season.
A one-hour hike through one of the most ecologically significant forests in the Middle East. The Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a 1,000-tonne Roman quarry block that sets the scale for what follows. Baalbek — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a specialist local guide at the temples. Chateau Ksara — Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857, with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars beneath it. Private vehicle and knowledgeable local driver throughout. Entrance tickets payable on site.

Shouf Cedars Reserve
Shouf Cedar Reserve — Lebanon's largest nature reserve The Shouf Biosphere Reserve covers over 50,000 hectares of the Lebanese mountains — Lebanon's largest protected natural area and a UNESCO-recognised biosphere of exceptional ecological value. The Maasser el Shouf cedar grove at its heart protects ancient trees descended from the forests that once covered the entire Lebanese range — the same cedars that built Phoenician ships, Solomon's Temple, and Egyptian palaces. A one-hour hike through the marked trails at your own pace — open year-round, easy terrain, spectacular mountain scenery in every season. In winter, snow on the cedars. In summer, cool mountain air above the Bekaa plain. Your driver covers the ecology and conservation story of the reserve throughout.
