Jeita Grotto
The Jeita Grotto, a system of two separate, but interconnected, karstic limestone caves which have formed over millions of years, is the longest cave complex in the Middle East. It is located 300 metres above sea level and has a height difference of 305 metres. The Jeita upper cave has an overall length of 2,130 metres and contains a great concentration of a variety of crystallized formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, mushrooms, ponds, curtains and draperies. The lower gallery which has an overall length of 6,200 metres is located 60 metres below the upper gallery. It is traversed by a smooth underwater river and a lake.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon
The shrine of our Lady of Lebanon is one of the most important shrines in the world honoring the Virgin Mary and located in Harissa, a key Christian pilgrimage site in Lebanon. The shrine is highlighted by a huge, 15-ton bronze statue of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of God. It is 8.5 m high and has a diameter of five meters.

5.00Exceptional. Perfectly organized. Smooth. Great guide (Albeir). And because it was private, we could exclude/include activities and also the time we spent at each attraction.
Great experience. Fantastic guide.

5.00Amazing experience. And because it was a private tour we had full flexibility with our excision which meant we spent as much time as we wanted in each location. Highly recommended. Special mention to Albeir who made it even better - great guide, friendly, good driver and shared great information.
