The best part about having a car is that you can go where you want, when you want. Make full use of your newfound freedom by experiencing all there is on offer in Baalbek. It’s just 25 miles away. Baalbek Ruins ought to be at the top of your list here. Al Moustafa Mosque and Temple of Bacchus are excellent attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Beirut, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Hamra Street. (But we’re also huge fans of Le Mall Sin El Fil and Zaitunay Bay.)
