About the Sites

We begin our tour with the Lebanese National Museum with an impressive collection artifacts dating from pre-historic times up to the Ottoman era gathered from around Lebanon.

Our next destination is the downtown. This part of our tour is done by foot. We will visit the Blue mosque, and three churches (Marinote, Greek Orthodox, and Catholic Churches). Next we will see the roman baths and walk past the downtown shops.

Our next stop is Zaitunay Bay, followed by Pigeon Rocks (two giant natural sentinel rock formations in the sea).

Lastly is our stop to a busy commercial street called Hamra. There you will have the opportunity to buy souvenirs as well as enjoy lunch at one of Beirut's most recommended resto-cafe's
