About this experience
The Bekaa Valley delivers three completely different historical registers in a single day — and this guided small-group tour covers all of them. Anjar: the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant, built and abandoned in the 8th century and never reoccupied. Baalbek: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Romans built temples on a scale that has never been equalled. Ksara: Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857, with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars beneath it. Lunch and all entrance tickets included. Your guide connects the three stops into a single coherent narrative — Umayyad city-planning, Roman engineering at its most ambitious, and a winery that has been producing Lebanese wine since the Ottoman era. The Stone of the Pregnant Woman — a 1,000-tonne Roman quarry block abandoned 2,000 years ago — sets the scale before you even enter the temple complex.

What you'll see and do
Beirut
8:30 AM — Departure from Beirut Your guide meets the group at your hotel and heads east on the Damascus highway — climbing through the Lebanese mountains as the Bekaa Valley opens below.

Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar
Anjar — the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant Built in the early 8th century by Caliph Walid I — the ruler who also commissioned the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem — and abandoned just decades later, never rebuilt. Colonnaded streets dividing the city into four quarters, a grand palace with over 40 towers, a mosque, and bathhouses — all still standing in the Bekaa plain. Most visitors to Lebanon drive straight past without stopping. Your guide makes sure you understand exactly what you are looking at and why it matters.

Stone of the Pregnant Woman — the quarry that sets the scale Before the temples — a stop at the ancient Roman quarry to see the Stone of the Pregnant Woman. A single limestone block, 21 metres long, weighing an estimated 1,000 tonnes, still lying where it was cut 2,000 years ago. Never moved. Your guide explains the engineering logic behind it — and why standing next to this unfinished block makes everything at the temple complex make more sense.
15 minutes here
Baalbek Temple
Baalbek Temple Complex — the greatest Roman temples ever built The Temple of Jupiter stands on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes — the largest dressed stones in human history. The Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon and almost entirely intact — the best-preserved Roman temple in the world. The Temple of Venus completes a complex that took three centuries to build. Your guide covers the full architectural, religious, and historical significance of Baalbek — one of the most extraordinary sites on earth — in the time available, making every minute count.
90 minutes here · Admission included
Lunch in Zahle or Baalbek — included Lebanese mezze and grilled meats — either in Baalbek or at a riverside restaurant in Zahle, Lebanon's celebrated food capital, depending on the day and group preference. Fully included in the tour price.
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 discovered beneath it in the 19th century, where wine ages at a naturally constant temperature year-round. The cave tour comes first — ancient tunnels that connect directly to the Roman history you have just seen at Baalbek — then a tasting of Ksara's iconic Cabernet-Syrah blends, crisp Blanc de Blancs, and celebrated Sunset Rosé. Your guide frames the winery visit within the broader Roman story of the Bekaa Valley.
45 minutes here · Admission not included
Beirut
Return to Beirut — approx. 6:00–7:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel — the Umayyad, Roman, and Ottoman layers of the Bekaa Valley covered in a single guided day, from a ghost city to the world's greatest temples to ancient wine caves.

Perfect daily tour in Bekaa Valley
Our guide Mike was very polite. He answered all the questions we asked in detail. The local guides in the historical places were very helpful. The lunch in Zahle which is included in the tour was extraordinary. If you arrive Beirut, this tour is one of the best in the region.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Anjar, Baalbek & Ksara Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included 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 Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included 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 Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included?
+
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 Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included 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 Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included?
+
Around 0 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 Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch included 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.
