Meet Marwan, your passionate guide of the day, and discover with him one of the well-kept secrets of Lebanon: the cultural heritage of Baaqline and its lovely nature reserve. You will start your day with a guided tour at the palace of the influential Hamadeh family, where Talaat Hamadeh, one of the palace’s inheritors and a descendant of the family, immediately transports you back in time. Next, you will visit Baaqline’s impressive ancient library, from where you will hike down to and through Baaqline’s beautiful nature reserve. On your way, you will enjoy a yummy lunch, including drinks and coffee at Bkerzay.  ​
YOUR DAY TOUR INCLUDES:
  • Transportation from and to Beirut.
  • A guided visit to the Hamadeh Palace.*
  • A guided visit to the ancient library of Baaqline.
  • A 3 hour guided loop hike in Horsh Baaqline to Bkerzay and back.*
  • A yummy lunch at Bkerzay, including coffee and tea. ​
* The guides here only speak Arabic. They are very friendly and will do anything to make you feel welcome and enjoy. Yet, if you don't speak any Arabic, and your main interest is to hear the stories behind the palace, the church and the reserve, we suggest you to pick another tour.
