BEKAA VALLEY

Known as the sun city, breeze into the fertile land of Baalbek where tales from many moons continue to glisten in its rivers and lakes. Find serenity at the Yammouneh Nature Reserve. Explore the mysterious pyramid of Hermel nearby; thought to have been built as long ago as the second century BC whose origin is yet to be determined. Converse with the mountain sheep on a refreshing bike ride along the Qaraoun lake in West Bekaa, a truly nature-loving experience. Seek some of the country's most exquisite in Kefraya and Zahleh where the evidence of winemaking goes as far back as 750 BC (according to a recent excavation of two Phoenician shipwrecks whose cargo of wine was still intact)!
