The Institute organizes four excursions to historic and tourist sites in Lebanon, such as the cities of Byblos, Tyre and Sidon, the Crusader, Arab and Roman ruins in Baalbek, Tripoli and Anjar, the Jeita grotto, the Cedars of Lebanon and the historical palaces in Beiteddine and Deir al-Qamar, in addition to a tour of South Lebanon. These tours are carried out as part of the culture unit in each of the courses and are mandatory for all SINARC students.
Excursion fees include transportation, entrance fees, and one overnight stay at a mountain resort (venue to be determined). An extra overnight trip (two nights) to the ruins of Palmyra in Syria, and tour of the old city of Damascus is also available at an extra charge. (The trip is on hold due to political situation.)
