Reisroute
Beiroet, een stad van diversiteit en tegenstellingen! 7 keer in de geschiedenis vernietigd en herbouwd, in feite waren natuurrampen de oorzaak, daarna hadden we een burgeroorlog van 1975 tot 1990! We rijden 's ochtends naar het museum in het hart van de oostkant van Beiroet. Het Nationaal Museum werd gebouwd in de jaren veertig, verwoest in de jaren zeventig, nieuw leven ingeblazen in de jaren negentig. Maar wat hebben we gedaan om onze waardevolle ontdekkingen te beschermen? Laten we wat antwoorden krijgen en dit prachtige museum bezoeken voor nog veel meer ... Down Town Beiroet; dit gebied was zwaar verwoest tijdens de burgeroorlog in de jaren zeventig. Prachtig gerenoveerd in de jaren negentig ... Het parlementsgebouw, het regeringspaleis, de Romeinse hammams, het Martyrsplein, de grootste moskee van Beiroet en de gerenoveerde souks liggen allemaal op loopafstand ... we eindigen onze mooie gematigde wandeling in de straten van DT door na te gaan wat er aan de mooie waterkant gaande is, Zeitunay baai nauwkeuriger ... Restaurant, cafés, bars staan allemaal voor je klaar ... We gaan dan met de auto naar het Raouche gebied om het symbool van de stad te ontdekken; "The Pigeon Rocks" en rijd dan terug naar je hotel.
Het martelarenplein, de Mohammed el-Mas moskee, de Sint Geoge Maronitische kathedraal, het Romeinse bad, het Star-plein ... en nog veel meer
De souks van Beiroet werden volledig gesloopt tijdens de oorlogen van Libanon, in de jaren negentig herbouwd en gerestaureerd tot een verbazingwekkend openluchtwinkelcentrum in het centrale district van de hoofdstad van Libanon.
Gewoon het symbool van Beiroet!
De zonsondergang!

Dave is not just an amazing tour guide but an overall amazing human. His love for Lebanon and Beirut shines clearly in this tour as he takes you through the history of this country spanning centuries and still going through tremendous changes. I fell in love with Beirut during this tour. Please contact Dave personally if you would like to request changes to the booking or for more tours around Lebanon. Don't skip this tour. Highly recommend!
Thank you very much, Ayusha, for your wonderful feedback and kind recommendation. My team and I are deeply committed to excellence, and we strive to ensure that every tour becomes a lasting and meaningful memory for our guests. Your words are truly appreciated and inspire us to keep delivering exceptional experiences.
I cannot recommend Dave enough. We were given his name by another traveller and were told how good he was. We were not disappointed. Dave told us the history of Lebanon, from ancient, through recent occupations and civil war to current times with port explosions, demonstrations in 2019, the banking crisis, and more. Good fun, very interesting and very flexible. We explored the old town (hit hard by the port explosion in 2020), the parliament, and finally saw why Beirut was once described as the Paris of the Middle East. Dave amended his tour at our request and we skipped the museum and headed up to the Jeita Grotto, and across to Byblos. We also negotiated another trip with him up the Cedars of God, and then across to Tripoli. Always informative and interesting - Dave also found us some great spots to stop for food, coffee and treats.
Thank you so much for your generous feedback. It was a true pleasure guiding you through Lebanon’s rich and complex history—from ancient civilizations to the challenges of recent years. I’m glad the flexibility of the tour allowed us to tailor the experience to your interests, and that you enjoyed the journey through Beirut, Jeita, Byblos, the Cedars of God, and Tripoli. Sharing these stories and hidden gems, including local spots for food and coffee, is always a highlight for me. I deeply appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for more discoveries.
If you want firstly a superb guide with incredible knowledge and information, and value for money tour than this is the one for you. I had a fantastic half day tour of more then 6 hours, what I saw and experienced was beyond my expectations, Dave is a brilliant guide and I would recommend him very highly for anyone that wants to experience the past and present in Beirut. Do yourself a favour and contact him for a great Historical experience.
Much appreciated. Thank you
Good tour of Beirut, nice reliable guide and flexible with plans. Learned a lot about history and the locals. Recommend it!
Thank you Dimitris.
I only had two days in Beirut / Lebanon so wanted to maximize my time here! Dave of Dave Lebanon D.M.C. picked me up at Beirut Rafic Hariri airport as I arrived from the States and we immediately began this half-day tour!! Dave is a life-long resident of Beirut so can add value and insight that others might not be able to. We moved at my pace, and Dave gave me insight into the current state of Lebanese affairs, the struggling economy, historical background, and so much more!! Dave knows Beirut and Lebanon very well and speaks all the languages and has many contacts throughout the various religious, political, and cultural groups. During the tour Dave eventually got me to my Hotel to check-in, and then we continued on our tour of Beirut. Highly recommend Dave and any tour he provides ( I also did his Baalbeck, Anjar, and Ksara tour the next day, 8/19/2023 -- see separate review.) Thanks Dave for two days of great experiences!!
It was my pleasure, and the trips we had, were at the perfect date and time! :) Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your comments. Cheers!
