    Highly recommended

    My friend and I did a few trips with Kifah and he is the best! He is very knowledgeable about the different sites and about Lebanon in general. He is also a really friendly guy, and my friend and I enjoyed our conversations with him during our trips. He was always punctual and drove safely. I would highly recommend Kifah and his company if you are interested in private trips around Lebanon!

    An unforgettable experience

    With Kifah from Lebanon Soul we travelled 5 days through Lebanon from 19 to 24 November 2019 Kifah has put together a program for us for 5 day excursions, the transfers on arrival and departure, the lunches and the entrances. Upon arrival he was already waiting for us with a card with our names on it. Then he was our private driver and showed us the most beautiful places of Lebanon.Byblos, Saida, Tyre, Baalbek, Anjar, Becharem with the museum of Khalil Gibran, Chouf Cederforest, Beitadine castle and much more.Kifah is a very pleasant person who knows a lot about the history of his country. He has not only taken us to the most beautiful places but also let us taste many delicacies of the country.He was always there for us and nothing was too much for him.He is a very good driver where you always feel safe.Kifah has become like a friend to us. Without hesitation we can warmly recommend Lebanon Soul and especially Kifah. We would like to come back to this fascinating country again Thank you very much Kifah.Paul and Wilma. Netherlands

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much and I hope to see you again in Lebanon

    An amazing Lebanese experience!!!

    We can't thank enough Kefah who has been the best guide we ever had. We can for a family trip to Lebanon during the protests of October 2019 and even if it was very difficult to circulate in the country, Kefah always found a way to get us where we wanted. Incredibly resourceful, amazing driver, cultivated, trustworthy and very nice company, I highly recommend Kefah for all the experiences you want to do in Lebanon. I will come back to Lebanon and my first call to organize my trip will be to Kefah! If you want to have the best time in Lebanon while being safe and well taken care of, you have to book Kefah!!!!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much Math I am very pleased to hear that from you . our goal to satisfy our visitors ,we hope to see you again good day

    Anjar baalback & Ksara tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.

    How much does Anjar baalback & Ksara tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beirut usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Anjar baalback & Ksara tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beirut is not rushed.

    Is Anjar baalback & Ksara tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beirut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Anjar baalback & Ksara tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Anjar baalback & Ksara tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Anjar baalback & Ksara tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beirut can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beirut and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Anjar baalback & Ksara tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beirut within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beirut?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beirut experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Small-Group Tour to Baalbek, Anjar and Ksara with Lunch, Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch, Jeita Grotto, Harisa & Byblos: Small Group Tour with Hotel pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beirut?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beirut?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Anjar baalback & Ksara tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Anjar baalback & Ksara tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Anjar baalback & Ksara tour offered in?

    +
