About this experience
The Bekaa Valley's three most compelling historical destinations — an abandoned Umayyad city, the greatest Roman temples ever built, and Lebanon's oldest winery — covered in one guided day from Beirut with a maximum of seven people. The same itinerary as the small-group version, with a guide who can give each person genuine individual attention at sites where the history runs deep and the questions always come. Anjar: the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant — built by Caliph Walid I and abandoned within decades, never rebuilt. Baalbek: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon. The Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a 1,000-tonne quarry block cut 2,000 years ago and never moved — frames the scale before you enter. Ksara: 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars beneath Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857. Lunch fully included.

Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar
Anjar — the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant Built in the early 8th century by Caliph Walid I and abandoned within decades — colonnaded streets, a grand palace with over 40 towers, a mosque, and bathhouses still standing in the Bekaa plain. Most visitors to Lebanon miss this entirely. With a group of seven, your guide can take the time to walk the full site properly and answer the questions that always arise here — about Umayyad city-planning, the speed of construction, and why the city was abandoned so quickly after it was built.
45 minutes here · Admission included
Stone of the Pregnant Woman — setting the scale A 1,000-tonne limestone block, 21 metres long, cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. Still lying in the quarry exactly where it was abandoned. Your guide explains the engineering logic — and why understanding this block makes what you are about to see at the temples genuinely comprehensible rather than simply overwhelming.
15 minutes here
Baalbek Temple
Baalbek Temple Complex — the greatest Roman temples ever built The Temple of Jupiter on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes. The Temple of Bacchus — larger than the Parthenon, almost entirely intact, the best-preserved Roman temple in the world. The Temple of Venus completing a complex that took three centuries to construct. With seven people, your guide can move at the group's pace — spending more time at the structures that generate the most questions and adjusting the narrative to match the group's interests, whether architectural, historical, or religious.
90 minutes here · Admission included
Baalbeck
Lunch in Baalbek or Zahle — included Lebanese mezze and grilled meats — either in Baalbek or at a riverside restaurant in Zahle, Lebanon's celebrated food capital, depending on the group's preference. With seven people the decision is easy and the table is the right size. Fully included.
60 minutes here
Chateau Ksara
Chateau Ksara — Roman caves, Lebanese wine, founded 1857 Lebanon's oldest winery — founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 — with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars where wine ages at a naturally constant temperature. The cave tour connects directly to the Roman history of the morning — the same civilisation, the same valley, a different kind of legacy. With a group of seven, the tasting moves at the group's pace — your guide frames the wines within the Bekaa Valley's 6,000-year winemaking history throughout.
45 minutes here · Admission not included
Beirut
Return to Beirut — approx. 6:00–7:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel — an Umayyad ghost city, the world's greatest Roman temples, and 2 kilometres of ancient wine caves. Same itinerary as the small-group version. More attention at every stop

Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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, Baalbek & Ksara Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl?
+
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, Baalbek & Ksara Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Semi-Private Tour | Max 10 · Lunch Incl 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,Harissa&Byblos Full-Day PRIVATE-CAR Trip from Beirut. 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.
