Getting there

Walking

From the center of Baalbek, start at the main square (Place des Martyrs). Head southeast on Al-Mahatta Street. Continue straight for about 1 kilometer until you reach the intersection with Ksara Road. Turn left onto Ksara Road and continue for approximately 1.5 kilometers. Keep an eye out for the signs for Chateau Ksara on your right. The winery is located a little further down the road, and you should see the entrance clearly marked.

Taxi

You can easily find a taxi at any point in Baalbek. Simply tell the driver 'Chateau Ksara' or point to it on your phone if you have the location pulled up. The drive should take about 10 minutes, as it's roughly 3 kilometers from the city center. Taxis are usually quite affordable, but it's a good idea to confirm the price before you start your journey.

Public Transportation

Look for a 'Service' shared taxi or minibus heading towards Zahle or Ksara. These often depart from the main taxi stand near the central market. Once you board, inform the driver of your destination, 'Chateau Ksara.' The ride will take around 15-20 minutes, and you may need to walk a short distance from the drop-off point to reach the winery. Make sure to check the schedule for return services if you plan to come back to Baalbek.
