Byblos, Batroun and Nabu Museum Day Trip

Byblos, Batroun and Nabu Museum Day Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel in Beirut starting from 8:30 am. The first stop is the Nabu Museum in Chekka, which is an hour's drive away. The museum features a collection of artifacts from the Bronze and Iron Ages, along with contemporary artworks from Lebanon and neighboring regions.

Next, we will take a walking tour of the coastal town of Batroun, which was significant during Phoenician times (3000 - 64 BC). The visit includes the Batroun harbour and souk. We will also see the Phoenician wall, which is 225m high and hewn from beach rocks over 2,000 years ago.

Following this, we will enjoy a meal at a traditional Lebanese restaurant, allowing time to taste local gastronomy before proceeding to Byblos.

In Byblos, known for its blend of sophistication and tradition, we will visit the castle and enjoy free time to explore the medieval quarter, including old souks, ramparts, and several historic churches.

We will stroll through the 19th-century souk with its sandstone arches, visit the Saint Stephan Cathedral, the Lady of the Sea Chapel, the damaged Phoenician fort, the remains of the ancient Roman theater, and the Roman stadium carved into MrahEl Cheikh rocks.

After a full day of exploration, we will return to Beirut by 5:30 pm and drop you off at your hotel.
