    Dissapointing

    Sites are amazing ruined only by a reckless driver doing 130 kms, converting our van to a cement mixer on the narrow twisting, narrow roads. Our guide was unprofessional, boring and to insult to injury couldn't hide her contempt towards Islam and Muslims in the umayid fortress in anjar. From then on I closed my ears to the guide's " information ". Food was scrumptious. Will certainly need to revisit baalback and anjar again under better circumstances.

    Baalbek Especially is must see!

    Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $110 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, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch 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, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 182 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Beirut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch 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, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch?

    +

    Around 64 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, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch 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, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch?

    +

    Included: Professional Licensed English and French speaking guide (All day Touring); On-board WiFi; Bottled water; Lunch; and Pickup and drop-off is included if the guests are staying in Hotels only located within Be. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Day Trip - With Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
