Alternative Baalbek & Beyond Tour

Alternative Baalbek & Beyond Tour

We are excited to kick off our journey with the initiative "Alternative Baalbek & Beyond”. Alongside the ruins, the area is full of untold stories, undiscovered landscapes, and unshared cultural norms.

Guided by firsthand narration, and thorough engagement with the communities and their oral histories - we bring together various aspects of the Baalbaki people and the dynamic culture of Baalbek.

This tour invites you to explore the richness of Baalbek and the region around it - its agriculture projects, beautiful landscapes, creative entrepreneurship endeavors, local and nomadic communities and more. It's not just an itinerary; it's a thoughtful engagement with Baalbek's multifaceted personality, its past and its present.
