| Spend an unforgettable week experiencing the dizzying breadth of attractions on offer in Lebanon. Start with three nights in the revitalized capital of Beirut. Tour this uniquely paradoxical, phoenix-like city, where restaurants, cafes, and night clubs are thriving. Beirut is your base for touring Sidon and Tyre, whose magnificent Roman ruins are dramatically situated on a peninsula. Tour the Umayyad riches of Anjar and the Graeco-Roman treasures of Baalbek, whose elegance and harmony captivate visitors. Tour Byblos, whose history was shaped by Phoenicians, Greeks, Crusaders and more. Travel to the lively city of Tripoli, a pleasant base for touring the famed cedar trees of Mount Lebanon. Also tour the wildly beautiful Kadisha valley, the inspirational home of Lebanon's most famous poet, Kahlil Gibran. Tour the legendary lands of Afka and Faqra, whose very soil inspired Greek Legends and the poet Milton. Return to Beirut for an excursion to the Jeitta grotto and Harissa with its panoramic views of the bay. | |||
