Start with one major heritage stop, such as Baalbek, and leave time for a meal and the journey. Anjar or other parts of the valley can form a separate day rather than an assumed fixed route.
This is an editorial experience idea, not a guided tour or a confirmed route. Check weather, access and the practical details of individual stops.
