Short Trip - Short Report
 

Three night trip to Lebanon in April.

First day. Visited Byblos and Jeitta Grotto. I liked wandering around Byblos. Very few people. Jeitta Grotto does indeed have impressive caverns. Having said that, touristy.

Second day. Baalbek. Fabulous. I had the entire site to myself for over two hours. A must visit destination. No issues with travel in Bekaa Valley. Greatest risk - Lebanese drivers. Anjar was another good visit. Once again, no other visitors.

Bottom line. Great places to visit. Only used US Dollars.

Nice to see someone else visiting Lebanon. Can you also report on where you stayed and where you ate? Did you travel by bus/shared taxi/taxi/tour?

I stayed at the Hilton Nabtoor on points. The property was nice and had a very good breakfast. Unfortunately, due to the current situation, almost no other people at the hotel.

Travel was by a private vehicle that I hired a private vehicle with driver from Hussein, Lebanon Tours, [email protected]. The driver was good, spoke excellent English. I did not have a guide. Price per day was $110 to $130 USD.

No lunches, I made a sandwich at breakfast and enjoyed eating them at the various locations. For dinner, some local food at the mall next to the hotel.
