About this experience
The Bekaa Valley is Lebanon's most historically dense day trip from Beirut — and most people only scratch the surface of it. This guided small-group tour does it properly: a ghost city that most tour buses drive straight past, the greatest Roman temples ever built with a guide who actually explains what you are looking at, and 2 kilometres of Roman wine caves beneath Lebanon's oldest winery. Three stops, three completely different chapters of the same valley, one included lunch. Anjar — the only surviving Umayyad palatial city in the Levant, built by Caliph Walid I and abandoned within decades. Baalbek — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Temple of Bacchus is larger than the Parthenon. Ksara — founded by Jesuits in 1857, with Roman cave cellars that connect the afternoon directly back to the morning. Your guide makes the connections that turn three impressive stops into one coherent story.

What you'll see and do
Beirut
8:30 AM — Hotel pickup Your guide meets the group at your Beirut hotel and heads east on the Damascus highway — over the Lebanese mountains and down into the Bekaa Valley. Anjar is about an hour away.
Pass by without stopping
Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar
Anjar — the Umayyad city nobody puts on their list Built in the early 8th century by Caliph Walid I — the ruler who also commissioned the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus — and abandoned just decades later, never reoccupied. Colonnaded streets, a palace with over 40 towers, a mosque, bathhouses — all still standing. The only surviving example of a complete Umayyad palatial city in the entire Levant, and one of the most underrated archaeological sites in the Middle East. Most tour groups skip it. Your guide makes sure you understand exactly why they are wrong to.
45 minutes here · Admission included
Stone of the Pregnant Woman — scale check before the temples A single limestone block, 21 metres long, weighing 1,000 tonnes, cut 2,000 years ago and never moved. Still in the quarry where it was abandoned. Your guide explains why it is here — and why standing next to it recalibrates your sense of what is waiting at the temple complex five minutes ahead.
15 minutes here
Baalbek Temple
Baalbek Temple Complex — the guide earns their fee here The Temple of Jupiter on Trilithon stones each weighing over 800 tonnes — the largest dressed stones in human history. The Temple of Bacchus, larger than the Parthenon, almost entirely intact, the best-preserved Roman temple on earth. The Temple of Venus completing a complex that took three centuries. Without a guide, Baalbek is overwhelming. With the right one, it becomes the most memorable site you visit in Lebanon. Your guide covers the architectural, religious, and historical layers of Baalbek in a way that makes every column and every courtyard make sense.
90 minutes here · Admission included
Zahle
Lunch in Zahle or Baalbek — included Lebanese mezze and grilled meats — either in Baalbek or at the riverside restaurant terraces of Zahle, Lebanon's most celebrated food destination, depending on timing and group preference. Fully included.
60 minutes here
Chateau Ksara
Chateau Ksara — the Roman caves beneath Lebanon's oldest winery Founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 above 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars — the same Roman civilisation you spent the morning exploring at Baalbek, now underground and ageing wine. The cave tour comes first — ancient tunnels at a naturally constant temperature year-round — then a tasting of Ksara's Cabernet-Syrah blends, Blanc de Blancs, and Sunset Rosé. Your guide connects the dots between Baalbek and Ksara in a way that makes the afternoon feel like a continuation rather than a different stop entirely.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Beirut
Return to Beirut — approx. 6:00–7:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel. A ghost city, the world's greatest Roman temples, and ancient wine caves — the Bekaa done properly.

Why this scores 81
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 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 Winery Small-Group Tour | Lunch Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 9-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 11 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 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.
