Optional Tour 1: Journey through the Chouf Mountains

Embark on a captivating journey through the Chouf district, starting with a visit to the Barouk Cedar Nature Reserve. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Barouk, this reserve safeguards breathtaking cedar forests, including those of Maaser el Shouf and Ain Zhalta-Bmohray. The reserve teems with biodiversity, providing a sanctuary for over 30 mammal species and 200 bird species. Next, we'll delve into the enchanting mountain village of Deir El Qamar, meaning "Monastery of the Moon." This picturesque village holds historical significance as Lebanon's 17th-century capital. Finally, we'll marvel at the architectural splendor of Beiteddine Palace, an exquisite masterpiece built in the 19th century by Emir Bechir II Chehabi. Erected around a former Druze hermitage, this palace stands as a testament to Lebanese architectural prowess.

Optional Tour 2: Unveiling Ancient Wonders and Winemaking Traditions

Embark on a captivating exploration of Lebanon's rich history and cultural heritage. Our journey begins in Baalbek, an ancient city revered by the Romans as Heliopolis, "City of the Sun." Here, we'll encounter some of the Middle East's most remarkably preserved Roman temples, dedicated to the divine triad of Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury. These awe-inspiring monuments have miraculously withstood centuries of conflict and natural forces. Next, we'll venture into the depths of the Ksara Caves, a network of caverns dating back to the Roman era. Explore these fascinating caves and indulge in a tour of the renowned on-site winery, celebrated for producing some of Lebanon's finest wines. Our final stop will be Anjar, a significant archaeological site that transports us back to the Umayyad period in the 8th century.
