Private Qadisha Valley, Gibran Museum & Cedars Tour | Beirut

The north of Lebanon belongs to a different world — ancient, dramatic, and deeply spiritual. This private guided tour from Beirut takes you into the heart of it, beginning with the Qadisha Valley in the early morning when mist still fills the gorge and the cliff-face monasteries emerge slowly from the fog, and ending at the Monastery of Saint Anthony of Kozhaya — one of Lebanon's oldest monasteries, carved directly into the rock face of the valley wall. In between: the Khalil Gibran Museum in Bcharre — the intimate hilltop collection of paintings, manuscripts, and the tomb of Lebanon's most celebrated poet — and a guided walk through the Cedars of God, a UNESCO-protected grove of ancient trees some over 1,000 years old, whose timber built Phoenician ships, Solomon's Temple, and Egyptian palaces. With a professional guide bringing every stop to life, this is the north of Lebanon experienced with the depth it deserves.
