One of the most precious Arabic architectural jewels is the palace of Beiteddine. This historic monument comprises of two large courtyards: the “midane”, a vast rectangular place for visitors, and a smaller one for the royal private apartments, with a magnificent fountain in its centre.

Surrounding the courtyards, and wonderfully laid out, are the gardens of the palace which offer an extraordinary view of the region. Visiting the ancient stables, you will discover a unique collection of mosaics from the Byzantine period. Finely sculpted doors and columns of stone and wood will accompany you through every single room and private apartment of the edifice.
