Unveiling the Ancient Splendor of Umayyad City Ruins

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, take the main road from any location in Bekaa Valley towards Aanjar. From Baalbek, head south on the Bekaa Highway (Route 5) until you reach the exit for Aanjar. Follow the signs for Aanjar, and you'll arrive at the Umayyad City Ruins, located at PWJM+WCJ. Parking is available near the entrance, and there are no additional costs for parking.

• Public Bus

  To reach Umayyad City Ruins by public transport, look for buses that run from major towns in Bekaa Valley, such as Baalbek or Zahle, towards Aanjar. Buses typically depart from central bus stations, and the fare is around 5,000 LBP to 10,000 LBP depending on your starting point. Once you arrive in Aanjar, you may need to walk approximately 1 km to reach the ruins. Follow the signs toward the archaeological site, and ask locals if you need further directions.

• Taxi

  For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi from your location in Bekaa Valley to the Umayyad City Ruins. Discuss the fare beforehand, as it could range from 10,000 LBP to 30,000 LBP depending on your starting point. The taxi will take you directly to PWJM+WCJ, where the ruins are located. This option is more convenient, especially if you are traveling in a group.
