After two hours of waiting and long chat contact, we were finally picked up by a driver. The booking from Sun to Mon was probably too short notice... The trip was very nice with competent guides, unfortunately there was no time for a leisurely visit. The lunch was delicious and sumptuous... The drive home was simply a nightmare because of our chauffeur's tiredness and aggressive driving style. We thank God that we came back safely to Beirut!!!
