Baalbek, LEBANON

They say Baalbek is Lebanon's greatest Roman treasure and can be counted among the greatest wonders of the ancient world. It's the largest and most noble Roman temples ever built and are also among the best preserved. When walking around the ruins of Baalbek one can't help but to adore the skills of the ancient builders. Let your mind free fall into a fantasy trip about what life here must have been like in its heyday. It would have surpassed any luxury as we live it today.

Baalbek's history goes back to the third millennium B.C and much of the building was done between 64 B.C and 68 A.D.

Baalbek is the highlight of my travels through Lebanon. Tomorrow I'm going back to Damascus to resume my trip through Syria before going into Turkey about 8 days from today.
