BAALBECK
Baalbeck, 86 km from Beirut, was renamed Heliopolis by the Greeks. It was made the center of Jupiter worship by the Romans. Baalbeck's temple complex is one of the largest in the world. The temple of Jupiter, with its six remaining colossal columns (22 meters tall), gives an idea of the vast scale of the original building. The nearby Temple of Bacchus, is well preserved.

JEITA GROTTO and BYBLOS
One of the world's most impressive caverns.
Only 20 km from Beirut.

BYBLOS
The ancient city of Byblos, about 40 km up the coast from Beirut, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It developed an alphabetic phonetic script which was the precursor of modern alphabets. Its ruins are famous through the remains of the Crusader castle which dominates the city's medieval ramparts. The temple of Baalat Gebal from 2800 BC includes an amphitheater from the Roman period.

BEITEDDINE
Located at a distance of 43 km from Beirut, Beiteddine houses the magnificent 19th century palace of Emir Bechir, who reigned for more than 50 years. The palace is a model of Eastern Architecture.

TYRE and SIDON
70 km from Beirut, founded by the Phoenicians in the 3rd millennium BC. Famous for its purple dye and glass industries, these days it’s known for its Roman ruins including a well-preserved road which passes through a monumental archway. There are hundreds of ornate, intricately-carved stone and marble sarcophagi. The hippodrome is the largest and best preserved in the world today.

SIDON
Saida means fishing, and even today fishermen moor their boats in its small picturesque port. The great Mosque, the ruins of the castle St Louis, the Phoenician temple to the god Eshmoun and the burial grounds with their catacombs and underground chambers, are all relics of Sidon’s impressive past. Today the town is known as the capital of the south.
