BAALBEK, LEBANON - Baalbek is an ancient city in central Lebanon, founded as a Phoenician city, but with immense history and civilizations, and impressive Roman ruins. But along with the ruins, Baalbek is known for its unique bakery foods and lots of grilled meat. This turned out to be one of my favorite dates in Lebanon for the mix of food, culture, and history. #Baalbek #Lebanon #LebaneseFood
Laiterie Massabki - On the drive from Beirut to Baalbek, we took the highway that goes from Beirut to Damascus, Syria, and Kamel mentioned that almost everyone who makes the drive stops for some cheese sandwiches a long the way, so we had to stop. They turned out to be incredibly delicious, well worth a stop. Total price - 26,000 LBP ($17.25)
Sfiha Baalbakiyye - One of the highlights of the day and of my trip to Lebanon was going to the butchery to order fresh kebabs. At the butchery they also ground fresh meat, mixed it with herbs and spices, and then we took it to the bakery across the street to make Sfiha Baalbakiyye. The bakery skills they had were super human! The kebabs and kofta were stunning as well. 65,000 LBP ($43.12) - Price for all meat and pastries
Palmyra Hotel - Kamel knows the manager of the classic Palmyra Hotel, which has been in continual operation for the last 140 years. After walking around the hotel for a bit, we had a Baalbek style food lunch in their courtyard. Food was delicious, fresh, and different tasting from a lot of the Lebanese food I had tried so far. After lunch we went to a very kind womans home to see the local Baalbek cheese and have a coffee as well.
Baalbek Ruins - And to finish off this food and attractions tour of Baalbek, we visited the famous ruins. I was blown away by the preservation and magnitude of the ruins - they are truly spectacular. 15,000 LBP ($9.95) - Entrance per person
It was an amazing day in Baalbek, Lebanon, and the highlight for me was the bakery skills and the kofta.

Those diamond meat pastries are sfikha.
Oh! I miss my mulberry tree😢. The city came and chopped it down; along with my honeysuckle, walnut tree and white cherry tree! I also had poke salad, dandelion, edible fern and wild Heather and much more! They displaced several bird species, rabbits, squirrels, spiders, snakes, and the bees😢😢! I wasn't given but a week notice! I petitioned to try and delay this so I might relocate at least some of these . I was denied. Still sad to go outside and see the damage they did.
I want to see marks orgasm face😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry but she need to let mark eat geez

This is one of the best videos Mark has made apart from Peru videos IMO..!!
What really strikes me is the humbleness, kindness of the local people in Lebanon… Leave the politics out and you see the real Lebanon as it meant to be…
👌
Intersting
love lebanon, from italy
Un upside down wok is the best description ive hearde anyone say
Lebanon is exporter of culture simple as. We in Kuwait and most of the Arab countries actually got Lebanese food and restaurants as a staple cuisine. It’s so rich, vibrant, colourful and quite healthy as well. You got Loads of different salads, citrus and olive oil.
They take pride in their food and Earthy produce
