Top Tours of the Past 10 Years: Lebanon
3 January 2020
Lebanon
A tour that was revived for 2019 and will continue on throughout 2020, Lebanon offers captivating archaeology and rich history alike. Spend eight days exploring sites such as Byblos, visiting ruins like the Temple of Jupitar Heliopolis in Baalbek and discovering finds in museums.
You will also spend time wandering among the Roman remains at Tyre, exploring the National Archaeological Museum with its sarcophagus of Ahiram and touring the palace at Beit Eddine, where amazing Byzantine mosaics can be admired.

Oliver Gilkes, an expert guide lecturer for Andante, explains:
“Well, the big change here is that it is possible to visit again. After seven years of Lebanon being off limits places like Baalbek and Sidon can be reached by groups in relative safety. Of course, like any country that has stabilised itself and is once again possible to visit, there will be a hundred things which require improvement. Visiting Baalbek was be one of the great highlights of any archaeological trip to a Mediterranean country. Amazingly it, and the other major sites of the country, seem to have escaped damage.”
