Embark on a day excursion to the Jeitta grotto and Harissa with its panoramic views of the bay and travel north to the famed cedar forests and spend some time in nearby Becharre and in the wildly beautiful Qadisha Valley, the inspirational home of Lebanon’s most famous poet, Kahlil Gibran. Visit Annaya to see the Monastery of Saint Maroun which has become one of the most visited sanctuaries in the Middle East. Journey to Byblos, the oldest inhabited city in the world whose history was shaped by Phoenicians, Greeks, Crusaders and more.
