The Faqra Roman Ruins in Kfardebian, Lebanon, offer a captivating glimpse into ancient history with well-preserved temples and structures nestled amidst scenic mountain landscapes. The site is generally accessible by car, though heavy snowfall in winter (December-March) can make access challenging, so the ideal visiting period is from late spring to autumn. While exploring independently is straightforward, a guided visit can significantly enhance the experience by providing valuable historical context. The approximate cost is typically a low entrance fee, and visitors usually spend 1 to 2 hours exploring the various ruins, including the Temple of Jupiter and a Roman bridge. Located at a high altitude, it provides panoramic views and can be easily combined with a trip to nearby ski resorts or the Faqra Natural Bridge. Comfortable footwear is recommended for navigating the terrain.
