About this activity
Starting your day tour in Beirut, visit the Maghen Abraham synagogue – the largest synagogue in Beirut – with your local expert guide. Then head to Martyrs’ Square to gaze at the impressive Martyrs’ Statue -- a memorial for Lebanese nationalists who were hanged during World War I by the Ottomans.

Your tour continues 26 miles (43 km) southeast of Beirut to the village of Beiteddine (Beit El Dine). Here you’ll find the magnificent Beiteddine Palace, which was built at the beginning of the 19th century. With its arcades, galleries and rooms decorated by artists from Lebanon, Damascus and Italy, the palace is a fabulous model of Eastern architecture. Today the palace houses a museum of feudal weapons, costumes and jewelry, as well as an archeological museum and a museum of Byzantine mosaics.

Your next stop is the village of Deir El Qamar (Deit El Kamar). Formerly the capital of Mount Lebanon, it is now a typical Lebanese village with a historical center, souk (market), museum, mosque and churches. Admire its many well-preserved historical buildings, and see its famous palaces that display ancient Lebanese-style architecture.

After a relaxing lunch of traditional meze (Middle Eastern small dishes) and tapas at a Lebanese restaurant in town (included), continue your tour to Deir El Qamar’s most famous ruins – the Mosque and Castle of Emir Melhem Shehab. On the way, look out your window to see Moussa Castle, a beautiful, yet tiny castle built by a Lebanese visionary over a period of more than 60 years.

At the end of your day trip, return to central Beirut in your comfortable, air-conditioned coach.

We enjoyed the day trip so very much! Our guide was Georgette. She knew every answer to every question that we had, plus some. Gave us some interesting facts about the places we visited. When she found out my family had come from Marjeyoun she and I had some good discussion. The restaurant we ate at was FANTASTIC! Really enjoyed it! We really appreciated everything!!! Would definitely take it again! Wish time restraints and our departure TO Lebanon hadn't kept us from other tours!
