Highlights
- Temples of Baalbek - Baalbeck’s Roman ruins, Lebanon’s most significant Roman treasure, are considered one of the ancient world’s wonders. These grand and majestic Roman temples are not only the largest ever constructed but also among the best preserved.
- Stone of the Pregnant Woman - The Stone of the Pregnant Woman is a crafted Roman monolith located in Baalbek, Lebanon. Alongside another ancient stone block nearby, it ranks among the largest monoliths ever quarried. These two massive building blocks were likely intended for the nearby Roman temple complex and are noted for their unparalleled monolithic gigantism in antiquity.
- Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar - The Umayyad Ruins of Aanjar provide an exceptional example of the Umayyad civilization and serve as a model of an inland commercial center at the junction of two significant routes: one from Beirut to Damascus and the other crossing the Bekaa from Homs to Tiberiade. Archaeologists only discovered this ancient city’s site in the late 1940s. The ruins of Anjar feature the walls of the Umayyad palace, harems, a mosque, the grand palace of the Caliph, thermal baths, and numerous pillars incorporating elements of Roman architecture.
- Chateau Ksara - Château Ksara is a winery in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley, established in 1857 by Jesuit priests. It introduced Lebanon’s first dry wine. Château Ksara produces around 3 million bottles each year, with its wines being exported to over 40 countries.

Great historic sites - Great trip to Baalbek to see the Roman ruins. Some of the buildings are down to rubble, but one temple has withstood the test of time. Definitely worth seeing. The lunch in Anjar was AMAZING! That restaurant was worth the price of admission. The winery in Ksara is a nice finishing touch to a great trip.
