The Lonely Planet says, "Baalbek, the 'sun city' of the ancient world, is home to the most impressive ancient site in Lebanon and arguably the most important Roman site in the Middle East. Its temples were built on an extravagant scale that outshone anything in Rome, and the town became a centre of worship well into the Christian era." It was amazing to see Roman ruins, with Christian ruins and Moslem ruins all built over one another.
