What To Expect
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. The Virgin Mary stretches her hands towards Beirut overlooking the Bay of Jounieh in one of the most attractive panoramic views in the world.

5.00I had an awesome half day (around 3 hours) traveling around the mountains with a fantastic guide. We had some great chats about many topics during the journey, and he was also very easy going and humorous. As an extra, we stopped at the side of the road overlooking the port on the way back into Beirut. Highly recommended tour!

5.00Given that my friend and I were in Lebanon for only one day, Kamel was able to accommodate our compressed timline and prioritized our travel based on our personal preferences. He even took us around Beirut for a quick tour before we got back to the hotel even though he didn't have to. Thank you again Kamel and I will definitely hire him and this company again the next time I am in the country.
very impressive attraction
