Description

Day 1: Beirut

Welcome to Lebanon! When you land at Beirut airport, we'll be waiting for you at the arrivals terminal to assist you with your visa and take you to the hotel where you'll be staying. Depending on how early you arrive, you can enjoy the rest of the day exploring Beirut at your own pace.

Day 2: Tyre - Sidon

We'll spend the second day of our tour of Lebanon exploring the country's southern half, visiting centennial cities. First up, we'll visit Tyre, which preserves a fascinating collection of Roman, Phoenician, Greek, and Byzantine ruins.

After visiting this historic town, we'll visit Sidon to see its castle, Old Town, and the souk.

The day will end back in Beirut.

Day 3: Byblos - Tripoli

After breakfast, we'll head to the ancient cities of Byblos and Tripoli. Starting in Byblos, considered one of the oldest cities in the world, we'll marvel at the city walls dating back to the Phoenician era, the Roman theater, the Crusader Castle, and the Church of St. John the Baptist.

In the afternoon, we'll arrive at Tripoli, the second most important city in Lebanon. Here, we'll enjoy a tour to see its citadel, the mosques, and souks, whose mixture of Eastern and modern styles will captivate you.

Then, once again, we'll return to Beirut to bring the day to an end.
