  Day 03: Beirut Hotel – Baalbek – Ksara Winery – Anjar - Beirut Hotel
  Today we head for the Bekaa Valley. Studded with villages, vegetable farms, wineries and ancient ruins, the plains of Bekaa are rich with history and culture. First stop at Baalbek, Lebanon's greatest Roman treasure. You see here two of the largest temples: the Jupiter Temple and the Bacchus Temple adjacent to it. A short distance away is the circular structure known as the Temple of Venus. Only part of the staircase remains from a fourth temple dedicated to Mercury.
  Continue to the Ksara Winery, founded in 1857 by Jesuit priests. Chateau Ksara is the Bekaa's oldest private wine company. These vineyards are famous for their top quality and advanced French cultivation techniques. The wine there is one-of-a-kind because of the caverns and hallways that have been engraved in the rock since the Roman period.
  Next on our list are the Umayyad ruins of Anjar. This iconic site once housed three grand palaces, Roman-inspired public baths, a residential area, a mosque and a commercial center. Its grand architectural scheme is made to be an almost perfect quadrilateral, with perpendicular streets and alleys that intersect at the city centre. Overnight Beirut Hotel.
