I am a third generation certified guide. I have been working in this business for more then 20 years (as a tour guide, a tour leader, a translator and the tour organizer). I have experience as a tour leader abroad (Turkey, Egypt). I also took part in the conference dedicated to Baalbek in Aix-en-Provence (France) in 2018. I enjoy showing my native city (Baalbeck) and my lovely country to our visitors , and make them love Lebanon as much as I do. It is amazing how many historical places and attractions are in this small country. Everyone can find something they will like here: from world-famous ancient temples and medieval fortresses to modern buildings, from dizzying mountain landscapes and serpentines to spectacular sea views, from the vibrant quarters of Beirut to the secluded quiet streets of traditional Lebanese towns. Being at the crossroads of great civilizations, every meter of my country is steeped in centuries-old history, which I would like to share with my tourists. I conduct my tours in a easy simple way to give my clients the opportunity to feel and enjoy the places and sites. Also during the tour I try, if possible, to acquaint tourists with locals and their life. I want to fully reveal the spirit of my country not only through sightseeing, but also by exploring Lebanese cuisine and customs. Being a tour guide is not a job for me but its my passion. license as tour guide from the ministry of tourism I dont have any restriction

The main theme of this tour is the search for national self-determination of the Lebanese. When the Lebanese began to realize themselves as a nation? What obstacles they had to overcome? How religious differences were resolved? All these questions we will discuss during this tour, Its my favorite We will visit the magnificent 19th-century palace complex of Beiteddine, which was built for the governor Emir Bashir Shihab. The palace combines traditional Arab and Italian baroque architectural and decorative elements. The palace consist of three main courts: Dar al-Baraniyyeh (the outer courtyard), Dar al-Wousta ( offices of the ministers) and Dar al-Hiram (private family quarters). It also contains several museums housing various collections, most impressive being a lovely collection of mosaics. Deir al-Qamar village, the former capital of Mount Lebanon, is one of the best-preserved examples of 17th-18th-century architecture in the country, in which at one time lived peacefully representatives of various faiths
