Mobile ticket
Three of Lebanon's most significant natural and spiritual destinations — one private day from Beirut. Jeita Grotto: a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and New 7 Wonders of Nature finalist, 9 kilometres of limestone cave system of extraordinary natural beauty. Harissa: Lebanon's most iconic mountaintop shrine, reached by cable car at 650 metres above the Mediterranean. Annaya: the mountain hermitage of Saint Charbel — Lebanon's most venerated saint, canonised by Pope Paul VI in 1977, whose monastery and hermitage draw pilgrims from across the world to a remote mountain village that has barely changed since he died there on Christmas Eve 1898.
The combination is unique — natural wonder, national shrine, and one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in the Middle East — covered privately at your own pace with a knowledgeable local driver. Optional lunch stop in Byblos on the return.

The upper cave on foot — stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall, formed over millions of years into formations of extraordinary scale and beauty. The lower cave by silent electric boat — gliding along an underground river through chambers of absolute stillness. One of the most spectacular natural experiences in the Middle East, 30 minutes from Beirut.
